“I don’t evaluate Maldonado on offensive numbers. I evaluate Maldonado on how he navigates through a game defensively. I don’t think anybody in the game does. It’s not like he was a .300 hitter last year and all of a sudden not hitting this year. He’s a championship catcher. Has been on championship teams. I love what he does defensively, how he slows things down back there and I’m still able to give Korey [Lee] his at-bats.” --Pedro Grifol.

Aren't his defensive metrics pretty bad? ?

Shut your fucking mouth, Grifool. Holy fucking s%*#.

Pedro was telling us in Spring Training that Maldonado wasn’t a .180 hitter. I think he thought he was better than that, buy he is right, he isn’t a .180 hitter. He only wishes he was.
