What a dick move.

**Hudson2** · 11-11-2015, 06:27 PM

Damn

**dak** · 11-11-2015, 06:28 PM

Hmm, not our best option. Let's hope it's no more than $4-5m.

**Deester11** · 11-11-2015, 06:32 PM

Very meh.

**Hudson2** · 11-11-2015, 06:34 PM

At some point they have to gear themselves towards 2017 with some younger guys. They can't do it all next year.

Woot woot! Printing my World Series tickets as I write!

But I thought he was an American League player, Mr. Hart?

Much better than wasting $50M and a draft pick on Weiters.

**chop2chip** · 11-11-2015, 06:36 PM

I like it. If he sucks, DFA him. If he is good, trade him. We don't have better internal options since we have apparently moved on from Bethancourt.

I expect the general consensus in this thread to be bitching though.

**depley** · 11-11-2015, 06:43 PM

I certainly do not view this as a win for the young pitching, AJ is just not that good behind the plate, he hit fine, but the rest is much more important right now.

**Hudson2** · 11-11-2015, 06:55 PM

Agree depley. At least get a very good play calling defensive catcher if you're gonna half a$$ it.

Completely agree wth this. I don't want to handcuff our ability to improve this position for the future by dedicating resources to mediocrity ala Markakis.

**Hudson2** · 11-11-2015, 07:02 PM

I didn't want Weiters either bc i dont think he'll hold up. I was hoping AJ went to an AL team.

When is the general consensus around here not bitchy???

**skillet** · 11-11-2015, 07:07 PM

The good news.... As others pointed out, now we don't sign Weiters and lose our high 2nd round pick and big money. The bad news... We continue to not develop Bethancourt or some other young catcher.

**dak** · 11-11-2015, 07:10 PM

Glad the plan is to use him part time. I still think they'll trade Bethancourt.

This was my fear as well. Bullet dodged.
