Buehrle>Wood Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) I've never bought into the "last catcher" nonsense. The odds of Navarro getting hurt in the next 2.5 innings are microscopic. If you're losing and you have nothing to lose, I see the argument. But when youre winning, eh, just protect the lead. He gets hurt that lead evaporates fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of MN coming back, scoring 3+ runs, and that AB meaning something, are more than 1%. ABSOLUTE worst-case scenario, Navarro gets hurt in the 2.5 innings, and we have to go with Saladino/Lawrie at catcher (since they used to be catchers), but the odds of that happening are puny.

Jose Abreu Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) so does Navarro start getting the bulk of the starts He should IMO. I think he's better all-around than Avila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nonstarter really. You just don't need to do that up 3-0 in the 7th. You can say the odds are low but with the Sox luck it'd happen lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only takes once to make you look like a really stupid manager. Playing those odds, especially in a non-desperation setting, is a fools errand.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I don't mind Avila getting a lot of starts right now because he seems to always get hurt. Use him while you can. Navarro will get his fair share of starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 So you guys are fine with Avila facing lefties on a regular basis (relievers, when a RHP starts) because of your belief in this "second catcher" stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game is on the line and it's a huge AB, you pinch hit Navarro. But you can't completely protect a player from getting AB's against pitchers they're bad at hitting.
