He’s bad. I really like the guy, but if he was, let’s say a 5th rounder, he wouldn’t touch a catcher’s mitt in MLB.

A fifth rd left handed catcher with power and above average plate discipline advances to AAA, puts up a .950 ops while improving defensively and never gets to the majors? I don’t think that’s accurate

To be fair, this is now the third dude who couldn't get hurt, to get hurt.  But yes, just terrible if this is a loan term thing.

No, Grandal is the most valuable player and the most irreplaceable player in the org by far. 

He's the only guy on the tea that you can count on to always consistently get on base. He's the only quality MLB catcher in the org, I'm talking about catching and receiving here only. There's no Andrew Vaughn, or Mendick, Garcia that can come up and adequately fill in. The drop off is tremendous.

I’m ready to get pelted, but would Zavala on offense/defense really be better than Mercedes as a catcher?

I think it is pretty clear the Sox don't see Mercedes as a catcher at all. He can finish a game behind the plate when the backup gets hurt but that's about it, the Sox want no part of him catching.

I would suspect most will say he can't call a game ,cant block pitches and cant frame so there's that.Pretty much the same stuff we hear about Collins. Yet he plays.

If Zavala can do all those things then is Collins only here for his hitting and being LH ?
