greg775 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It's Zack Collins time, baby. Absolutely no reason to not have him as No. 1 catcher in April. McCann is fine as a tutor to Zack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins has caught the whole game yes ? He has caught 7 different pitchers this game. Now 8 with Colome in. Yet the Twins have 3 hits and thats with the Sox pitchers who are not that good. I do not see how that is any kind of disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 That at bat had a great outcome. But it's why baseball has jumped the shark. Terrible that that hitter would hit it right at Moncada! He had the WHOLE left side. Hilarious. GO SOX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins still has a lot to prove and until he does McCann or someone else will be the starting catcher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised you guys are letting greg be the loudest voice in support of Collins on here. I'm anti tank but I want one of the key pieces to play. The eye test of greg says me likey Zack Collins! I'd think I'd have some support on here from the rebuild people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) I'd give Collins a look next year, but they better have a decent backup plan. They need another catcher just in case he sucks. I would absolutely not give him time at DH or 1B on a regular basis until he proves he can hit at least .240. Only to spell Abreu or whomever.

greg775 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Zack just said on postgame to Stoney he had the jitters his first go-round in the majors and now he's feeling great, no jitters. Folks, he's a human being. It's tough the first go-round in the bigs. I'll shut up soon but for a team that's rebuilding, there's no reason to not play Zack next year in his age 25 season for gosh sakes!! The guy is gonna be 25 next year meaning in baseball years he's got about five years left before age-ism sets in. PLAY ZACK! OK I'll stop before I get in trouble but you all must remember how I felt bout Zack when he busts loose.

OK I'll stop before I get in trouble but you all must remember how I felt bout Zack when he busts loose. He’s showing signs of settling in. He has a 1.171 OPS over his last 4 games. Trending in the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind bringing Yolmer back because if they need to they can just salary dump him on a rebuilding team with a hole at 2B.

There's no need for Yolmer with guys like Holt and Gennett as free agents, Bench needs an upgrade too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason you can't have Mendick, Leury and Engel on one team. Unless you want to have more of a bat first back up to hit against tough lefties late in games (example: as someone said earlier, Kendrick).
