I thought Eloy might buck that trend, but obviously I’m not overly surprised. He’ll be fine in the long-run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Just now, Chicago White Sox said: They’re already using Collins and Zavala at 1B / DH though. If I'm reading the stats right it looks like Zavala has only DHd for 2 games, Collins 0. If Charlotte is only carrying those 2 catchers, they may not want to "lose" the DH spot if they have something happen to the catcher. If they want those 2 playing every day, they probably need a 3rd catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would leave this guy very little playing time. So, to me, it must mean someone isn't long at being primarily a catcher. Maybe they are now so excited about Collins' bat, they don't want him to take the beating behind the plate.
