April 12, 201015 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) Donny Lucy unless this is a trick question that I'm not getting? I think he means emergency third string if lets say both aj and lucy go down in the same game. I would guess its Nix.
April 12, 201015 yr Sergio Santos. Based on experience, it should be PK. But they wouldn't want to risk injuring him.
April 12, 201015 yr I wonder why they never have a reliever as emergency catcher? Certainly they can catch and throw a ball better than most.

Yes, I mean the 3rd catcher ON THE TEAM. Lucy is the 2nd catcher. QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) If that's the case.. I would guess Konerko since he came up as a catcher. I really doubt that they want Konerko doing that right now, with his age, hip, etc. My best guess is Nix, or maybe Vizquel.

Oh wait. Hell judging by the commercial, Buehrle has great form back there when he was catching Peavy. Edited April 12, 201015 yr by SoxAce

He's about 12 minutes away from requiring a prosthetic, and he'll qualify under AARP.
April 13, 201015 yr QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 04:27 PM) Sergio Santos. Santos makes the most sense to me. He's young. A former hitter, with a rocket arm.
April 19, 201015 yr The best part of this by the numbers Greg Walker deflecting blame on the hitters article? We get an answer to the dreaded emergency catcher (and pitcher) question. And, i was totally right. Suck it, SoxTalk. "Manager Ozzie Guillen said Kotsay would be his emergency pitcher and Jayson Nix his third catcher if his roster got stretched out as the Cardinals' and the Mets' did during their 20-inning game Saturday. Kotsay was a standout outfielder and pitcher at Cal State Fullerton in the mid-1990s." http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,1560038.story
