In light of my most recent article, how do you guys think the Cubs should handle the backup backstop position?
As a believer in catcher ERA. I am okay with him as the backup.
noooo! thats such a fallacy!
Besides, do you think hill's 'catcher era' is average?
Do you think the supposed catcher era counteracts is .242 wOBA? 42 wRC+?
I would like to see Castillo, but I have had a boner for him for years.
We did acquire Max Ramirez over the offseason plus we still have Wellington Castillo
Jeez, this topic again?
As i said months ago, Hill will be the backup unless Ramirez has a monster spring, which i doubt he will have. Forget about Castillo. He must play everyday. Unless he can beat out Geo Soto, which he wont, he needs to play everyday and not just sit.
Hill will be backup.
Why does he need to play every day? He's not going to be taking Geo's spot anytime soon.
Could be a trade chip, I guess, if we keep him down as a starter and he proves to be a good prospect.
I'd much rather just have a good back up. Good back up catchers are underrated.
I prefer Castillo too, just showing what he was thinking, which does make sense too.
But the whole "doesn't make any sense for him to be a backup if he never plays" thing applies to him as it does to Jackson and Cashner. While I agree that he would be a fantastic back up to Geo, he needs to play to develop. Leave him down in AAA ball, or whatever, and if we have an actual need for him, call him up. Until that point, leave him and Jackson and Cash Money if he doesn't earn a starting rotation spot this year, down in Iowa.
Hmmm... you know, I think you're right. It's not like we're going to be winning anything this year.
You are so confusing... you get mad at me for being down, and then you take all chance of anything away... or is this sarcasm to an extent?
I still say Cash should be starting for Chicago.
What? Take all chance of anything?
That's fine that you say Cash should be starting, but that's because you are a fan and you are about the least most objective person in the world.
