It's unbelievable really. Usually catchers DH (and also catch on certain days) while they learn on the fly other aspects of their pitcher(s), signs, etc. at various times. I get the Sox/Ricky taking it slow with him (and with how McCann is swinging the bat, fine) but not even giving him Alonso at the time and Palka recently ABs is crazy. Not saying he's going to be anything even after that, but this 1 maybe 2 times a week thing isn't how you go about it.
