Bethancourt

[nsacpi]

.543 OPS so far in the majors.

Not too surprising considering his .676 OPS in AAA.

I have a better understanding now of why his walk rate is so low. He swings at a lot of pitches outside the strike zone. Some of them way outside the strike zone.

I would sign David Ross to be our backup catcher and éminence grise in 2015 and have Bethancourt spend another year in AAA to work on his plate discipline.

Even in a down year Ross has put up an OPS 40 points higher than Bethancourt.
