Expand I don't think he'll be anything, but he's got a sliver of chance to be something whereas as Goins and Escobar we already know suck balls at major league baseball. May as well give the kid a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works counts/takes walks. Defensively versatile. He's just kinda a moderately interesting guy. I wouldn't be against seeing what he can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The move does open up a spot on the 40 so you would think it would be for someone not on the 40-man being added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I like him, I think he could be a Tyler Saladino player that is versatile and has home run pop even if not a plus offensive player. I don't think he'll be a disaster if not overexposed, but he does tend to be very streaky while never bottoming out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I don't think Collins will see regular at bats until we have a third catcher or he's back in Triple-A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
