    What are your thoughts on catcher Anthony Recker?

    He'll likely be called up after the All Star Break given that Flowers is out.

    Career AAAA veteran who can't really hit... .594 career OPS in the majors based on 455 at bats. Had some decent stats in the minors, but at 32 years old, cannot not imagine that he will magically "find it"

    He's ambulatory, mostly gout-free by all accounts, and has at least one good eye. In our situation, that's fine. Also, he's been catching young pitchers, so that's something.

    I am fine with a scrub like this as my backup as long as he's prepared to spot start 5-6 times a week.

    First things first. A.J., make sure you tell Anthony the directions to the warehouse so he can keep your fridge stocked with Mich Ultra. I imagine that will be Recker's top priority.

    I'm firmly in the having two scrub catchers playing, will greatly enhance our chances of the number one pick next year camp.

    Geez. Isn't there anyone who has watched Gwinnett play who can give us a first-hand report? I feel that he's adequate. A couple of years ago, it was actually mentioned a time or two on this thread that the Braves acquire him.

    Well most on here don't even remember who Kevin Milleood was so why'd you expect anyone to pay attention to an AAAA catcher? Mention Jason Heyward and the masses come filing in.

    Does anyone know why Recker was on inactive status with the Gwinnett Braves? It was non-injury.
