I'd be all over Franklin. Fits our need for a versatile bench bat perfectly.

We don't need additional defensive versatility on the bench. We already have plenty of that in Bonifacio, Peterson and D'Arnaud. What we need is a professional hitter from the left side.
Recker makes opening day roster.
3 catchers lol
Too soon to fire Snitker? 3 catchers is crazy bad.

He is probably just being kept to use as a scapegoat if 2017 goes bad.

I wouldn't be shocked if we make a move for someone today and Recker goes away at that point.
Suzuki's hot spring seems to have convinced someone that he should be used more as a pinch hitter.
the lack of bench options can't be blamed on Snit
Why would this surprise you when JS failed to assemble a decent bench and reliable bullpen every year he was here. It was scrape heap galore, thankfully Bobby and Leo were that good, and while it worked in the regular season it cost us big time...and I mean bigly in October.
I think Recker being a catcher is secondary to him being a hitter. Not a lot of better hitting options for the bench. I also think we'll acquire someone at some point and send Recker down.
If Recker is a good hitter then he shouldn't be sent down though?
I don't get the sensitivity to criticism of the FO either. Those of us who criticize them also praise some of their moves. The Miller trade was universally praised at the time. A lot of us have liked some of their smaller trades, like the one that sent Uribe/Kelly Johnson to the Mets.
