Will Matt catch again in 2014 ?

[scOtt]

Wonder why? Wild guess Matt will take longer than expected and they don't trust Joeseph?

Maybe that's why Britton has not pitched.

Matt can't catch. They want a better catcher than Joseph or Clevenger for the rest of the whole season.

I think it's safe to say Matt wont catch rest of 2014.

I think it's safe to say that your Twitter super powers are better without annotations.

Why on Earth would the search for a backup catcher imply that Matt won't catch for the remainder of this season? Clevenger hasn't hit particularly well, and Joseph doesn't look like he belongs in the big leagues at all. It'd make sense for the team to look for an established backup, particularly if the guy plays solid defense.

I love K. Suzuki but the price would be too high.

Britton?

[Spakman]

Showalter must not be impressed with Clevengers defense.

Joseph called good games behind the plate (well with help) and good defensively. He just doesn't have the bat.

Neither one of our existing catchers are a front line catcher. I assume that is what we would want.

why not George Kottaras

San Diego has been trying to move Hundley I remember from a few days ago.

They've been carrying 3 on the roster: Hundley, Grandal, and Rivera.

Twins aren't trading Suzuki

You think Matt might take that long? Russell didn't sound terribly optimistic pregame.

This make great sense.

They don't have the arm. Remember Buck has a thing about suppressing stolen bases.
