Señor Ding-Dong Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) I really hope they turn the page and go with a new catcher next year. I think Nieto may be the future at C, but he should probably spend most of next season in Charlotte. The FA options are thin; might as well go with Phegley an Gonzalez 'till Nieto is ready or someone becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeky Magee Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 07:53 PM) At the time, it was an accurate statement. It was the absence of a "right now" I found amusing. Either way, his good streaks and bad streaks have added up to a line of .232/.293/.347. And a BABIP still of .350+. Even with his good defence/framing, I fear that's just not gonna be good enough when a few less shanks drop in/he starts hitting a few less line drives.

Conor started out pretty decently defensively last year, but was awful the last couple of months. This year, a similar pattern seems to be occurring.

He is not a everyday 3rd basemen. He's not an everyday 3rd baseman more because he absolutely cannot hit lefties. If they get him a platoon partner and he hits reasonably close to what he's doing now, he can absolutely be a 3rd baseman for the majority of games going forward, even though his defence will probably limit his value a decent amount.
