JoshPR Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I actually wanted lucroy a few years back. If he can regain something back he's a decent vet to have 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be. Could also be good incentive to push Collins. Not exactly like this team has any good options back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pal Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Shocked if he makes the team. Collins would have to offer nothing as a catcher. He was washed out 3 years ago and didn't play last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 How many games should Grandal catch next year? 100? 95? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Lucroy's defense will probably keep him slightly above replacement level as a backup. He's a nice bar for Collins to clear to earn the backup catcher role. This type of signing was definitely needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been around 125 games caught with 110 starts over the last 5 years prior to 2020. Ideally it'd be a little less, but something within range of his averages seems reasonable to me.

Whatever happens...with all the young players some vets around them are helpful. Catchers make good managers because they are field managers during their playing days.

EloyJenkins Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 This more or less confirms that Collins finally gets a chance. Cant blame Sox for a depth move, but if Collins sucks I honestly think they would go to Yermin before Lucroy, he is that bad now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
