Sorry to break it to you but he probably won't stick at catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetman Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 This is the real puzzler. There aren't any decent free agents out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade for some solid defensive catcher like Severino or Carson Kelly in a Q or Eaton deal to pair with Narvaez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 IMO, they should be doing anything and everything they can to keep Collins at catcher as long as possible. They still need someone else there this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be mean but did you pay attention to MLB in the second half of the year? I don't blame you if you didnt. But he was one of the biggest stories in baseball. Highly doubt he's touchable after that. Edited December 7, 2016 by Buehrle>Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I don't have a name in mind, but at the very least they should acquire someone that's a decent framer. Even if said catcher can't hit at all, it can't be good for young pitchers development to constantly lose a ton of strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 There was nothing but positive reviews of Collins' catching ability in the AFL. No reason to knock him off catcher anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, get players back there who are actual catchers that can handle all defensive aspects of catching. Catching is the most important defensive position on the field. Catchers who can defend and hit are 1 in a million. You usually either get an offensive catcher or a defensive catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 They should've paid Ramos. Could've rehabbed him and then moved or keep him long-term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to knock him off catcher anytime soon. "The biggest concerns around Collins is where he will play defensively. He’s played a lot of places, but the White Sox are giving him a fair shake at catcher. The White Sox need a backstop, but it doesn’t appear Collins is the answer. His feet have the propensity to be heavy and his receiving abilities are a little awkward." From OutsidePitch on Nov 19th, 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Garfien suggested Kurt Suzuki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I had my eyes on Severino as a secondary piece in a WAS deal. He's no Pudge (either one of them), but has a good shot at being a solid regular for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect an uninspiring stopgap. Wellington Castillo would be a nice grab though. Hope he rebuilds some value, and flip him at the deadline.

BigHurt3515 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 If we are doing this rebuilding thing I want Navarez to get most of the reps at Catcher to see if we might have something with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
