William will be back. Kid "caught" hell but for not being above AA improved a little defensively...

That being said..the catchers stink. The bullpen stinks. The offense stinks. AA stinks. The below replacement players are making me wish football was here NOW!

Shanks may resurrect the Scout board if he can find all the Lucroy worshipers.

This is for the best. If we're going to have ****ty-hitting catchers and the team is going nowhere, it shouldn't come at the expense of further screwing up his development.

Yep. Definitely

Hang in here. You provide a huge portion of the sanity and respect on this board.

Thanks so much PawPaw. You know I will. Been a while though since I've felt like the FO has abandoned the premise of putting a winning product together. Just means I'll really focus on being at Rome and Augusta now. Sanity....lol. You nailed that.

Guy had like 75 games or less over A ball before we made him our starter. I think he can hit. I like him more than Riley as a hitter.

I think this is the right move if he can mentally take it the right way. I think he still has a reasonable outcome as an impact catcher.

Contreras has an average exit velocity over 92 MPH. He will more than likely be a good hitter in the future.
