    By all accounts he's not a good defender, but I kind of want to wait to judge him until he starts hitting and looks comfortable offensively. At that point, he may settle in defensively with some added confidence. Not saying that's a definite or anything, just saying. 

    If he hits, can he be a full time DH?

    Can he play LF?

    we cant win without decent pitching...without Grayson we are very mediocre ...its that simple..

    Very true.  I hope we make the playoffs!

  3. If GRod is out for extended time, I can't see them having a chance to catch the Yankees, and I wonder if we will make the playoffs.  We can't win with scrubs replacement pitchers with 4 starters out.

    Burnes didn’t give him much chance.  
     

    I’m just looking at the throws.  Weak. Slow. Inaccurate. 
     

    The throwing, for me, is a secondary issue I’ve noticed. 

    Watch ball 4 to Lane Thomas in 1st as an example.  He’s not bringing ball into zone consistently.  He’s just catching.  Not receiving with a purpose and intent.  

     

    I blame the umpire for missing the correct strike zone, not the catcher framing. The umpire is supposed to watch the ball not that catcher's mitt!!
