August 8, 201015 yr AJ called it a tweak and thinks he can play tomorrow. He wont, but he should be back Monday. I'm not overly concerned anyway as Castro is the better player at the moment.
August 8, 201015 yr That was an awkward ending at 3B for AJ last night. Glad it is only a tweak casue it could have gone real bad too
August 8, 201015 yr stupid half-slide aside, AJ is a tough MFer. He takes a beating out there and rarely goes out for injury

Castro has done his role extremely well, but AJ deserves to be the full-time catcher. He is the one behind the plate and doing his job to make sure the hurlers hurl right and they have. I am glad we have AJP backed up by Castro

I'm not saying this will last, i'm just not worried.

Tbolt usually is a reasonable poster IMO. There's been some posts in game threads coming perilously close to saying AJ's a bum. Should be interesting to see if those make it out of game threads into threads like this. AJ's a stud IMO. Not hitting particularly well this year, tho.
August 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (since56 @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:06 AM) Just in case...Who is the backup behind Castro? They'd have to bring up Lucy. Emergency catcher might be Lillibridge - according the Mark Gonzales. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-07...s-ozzie-guillen

Lilly could probably just stand there and catch instead of crouching. I kill me.
