You are entitled to your opinion but WOW...just WOW!

Had the same thought.?

Catchers wear down in a long season. Let Grandal catch 70-80 games and DH 70 games or so. McCann can catch 50 - 60 games and DH 50 or so. Pick your spots with Collins at catcher/DH/ and backup catcher. Well rested catchers is a luxury most teams don't have.

For those who told me I was going to be disappointed...I'm not.

Vizquel the other day and now Grandal. FO not kidding around this year.

We have a great catcher/DH/backup catcher situation. If anything help Collins develop...this will. Two excellent mentors.

I'll take Grandal & McCann. Karko had a great arm...I'll give you that.

I think you are spot on.

I think Wheeler is an excellent guess for move #2.

This is the best catching tandem in my lifetime...and that's a long-long-long time.

We have seriously good catchers. Real leadership.

Enough play for everyone while great mentoring for Collins. All catchers where down in a long season...this keeps fresh players on the field. Love it.

Nope...solves DH while upgrading catcher.

This is how you get early signings...give the person what he is seeking without getting cute.

Yep...we are all different.

Only if he likes waiting til late January to know where he will be living and working. Like they say in the house buying trade...sometimes your first offer is the best offer.

Jirschele had his stock go up today. I like it.

Apparently his heir apparent status was not accurate.

Time?

Might make an interesting platoon partner with Avi.

Hello hammer...meet nail.?

Yes indeed.

Madrigal is suited for #1, #2 or #9. He will undoubtedly start at #9 but like you...I think #2 is his future batting order placement.

Even superstars are not worth much as one year rentals. We can offer relief of salary but no players of consequence.

I agree with you. Upgrades catching overall while filling DH. Cost effective way to kill two birds with one stone.
