southsider2k5 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 At this point are the catchers even hitting .200 combined? Geesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Avila sucks. I keep telling myself that, while he might not have done much yet, it's awesome that he sees so many pitches. And yet, for all of that, he has two walks in seven games. Seriously, he should just not swing and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily think that, but I didn't see the point in giving him a big raise either. He was good at pitch framing and that was about it.

They must have saw better tape on him last season that illustrated his struggles, because if this is what he looked like last year, no wonder his dad let him walk away. He's someone that looked done in Spring Training...but so was Latos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought Flowers needed to go and would have been absolutely fine with him being our starting C this year but by years end this duo will be better than what we were getting out of our catchers last year. I feel pretty confident in saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I think I liked Flowers more than most be he was just as capable of 0-60 stretches and was really not that good at keeping balls in front of him or throwing runners out. Avila does just look straight up broken down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's someone that looked done in Spring Training...but so was Latos I honestly thought if was healthy, and from all indications he is, he could hit 220/330/350 and give just as good as defense as flowers except with some more OBP. I think however he might just be toast. His back and concussion issues are behind him and he still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
