Defensively, he is no where near Joe Crede. Offensively, he is much, much better already than Crede IMHO. Potential-wise, I think Joe and him are even, but Joe really scared me at the plate. I have seen Munson play some, and I never knew he was a catcher, granted that isn't saying much. I would love to give him a chance, but as long as Ross Gload is on the bench, I don't see a dire need for him.
