I remember with the Jays Ricciardi hated spending on international guys, and reveled in the pirates signing of Sano as a reason to avoid. That’s my everlasting memory of Sano. False vindication for the bad strategy of a bad GM.
Yeah, I really don’t like him behind the plate. Seems like a nice enough kid, though. I’m really surprised how little action he’s got back there. Zavala isn’t exactly setting the bar high. I’d say he’s below average on D and awful on O.
