December 7, 20169 yr Saw that the Yankees have the highest ranked catching prospect in Gary Sanchez http://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/...ers/cards/93026 is he available? who else is out there?
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 07:54 PM) There's this Zack Collins guy out there...we should really look into him. Sorry to break it to you but he probably won't stick at catcher.

December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 07:57 PM) This is the real puzzler. There aren't any decent free agents out there. Trade for some solid defensive catcher like Severino or Carson Kelly in a Q or Eaton deal to pair with Narvaez.

December 7, 20169 yr IMO, they should be doing anything and everything they can to keep Collins at catcher as long as possible. They still need someone else there this year though.

Not trying to be mean but did you pay attention to MLB in the second half of the year? I don't blame you if you didnt. But he was one of the biggest stories in baseball. Highly doubt he's touchable after that. Edited December 7, 20169 yr by Buehrle>Wood
December 7, 20169 yr I don't have a name in mind, but at the very least they should acquire someone that's a decent framer. Even if said catcher can't hit at all, it can't be good for young pitchers development to constantly lose a ton of strikes.
December 7, 20169 yr There was nothing but positive reviews of Collins' catching ability in the AFL. No reason to knock him off catcher anytime soon.

Even if said catcher can't hit at all, it can't be good for young pitchers development to constantly lose a ton of strikes. In general, get players back there who are actual catchers that can handle all defensive aspects of catching. Catching is the most important defensive position on the field. Catchers who can defend and hit are 1 in a million. You usually either get an offensive catcher or a defensive catcher.

December 7, 20169 yr They should've paid Ramos. Could've rehabbed him and then moved or keep him long-term.

"The biggest concerns around Collins is where he will play defensively. He’s played a lot of places, but the White Sox are giving him a fair shake at catcher. The White Sox need a backstop, but it doesn’t appear Collins is the answer. His feet have the propensity to be heavy and his receiving abilities are a little awkward."

December 7, 20169 yr I had my eyes on Severino as a secondary piece in a WAS deal. He's no Pudge (either one of them), but has a good shot at being a solid regular for a long time
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 08:08 PM) Garfien suggested Kurt Suzuki. Gross. Horrible pitcher framer too.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:10 PM) Gross. Horrible pitcher framer too. I figure it really doesn't matter during this rebuild. I fully expect an uninspiring stopgap. Wellington Castillo would be a nice grab though. Hope he rebuilds some value, and flip him at the deadline.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:09 PM) I had my eyes on Severino as a secondary piece in a WAS deal. He's no Pudge (either one of them), but has a good shot at being a solid regular for a long time That would be ideal. Sox really need to find their starting catcher in one of these deals.
December 7, 20169 yr If we are doing this rebuilding thing I want Navarez to get most of the reps at Catcher to see if we might have something with him
