jta quoted 28 pass balls for last season. And it doesn't mention wild pitches, which can sometimes go either way (WP or PB).

There's a lot more to catching than throwing. Just look at Sunny and Pudge.

Yes I know there is. I guess the announcers were wrong or just hadn't done their homework. They didn't mention any problems. They were raving about him. I was just saying he had no problems behind the plate during that game, and also had an RBI single.

No worries mate. I've never seen the kid play. But obviously he's got a missile launcher for an arm.

He hit .258 for 2 seasons in A ball. So his bat needs some work too it seems.

He might be further away than we think.

That's what I've been saying. Absolute best case scenario, we might see him in 2016.

Obviously it's hard to predict the progression of a young kid, but I think if he does well in the minors this year he will have a shot at making the team next year. Either way it'll be exciting to watch his growth.

Hope you're right. 2016, if he shows up mature and ready, works for me. And let's keep in mind, if he makes it to the bigs in 2016, he'll still only be 23. So your best case is accurate.

I think there's a lot of talking here without much going on. If anything this is a message to Cano.

Sorry....my last two trades fail through. Or else, lot's would be going on.

You're right though. Just me and a few of us bantering around a bunch of nothing. Doesn't mean it's not semi entertaining however.

Burning some time, longing for the warmer months. Nothing wrong with that.

Sure it's a lot of talk but you know how the agents love to bring in the Yankees. Needlessly upping the price tag. Hope we did that to them with McCann.

I want referring to that. I was taking about the Yankees supposedly being in on every top free agent to get cano's attention.

Wow Brad Ziegler the D-Backs player rep is ripping the Peralta deal. Calling him a cheater.

DT did not say 'MY gosh those are horrible numbers" Donaldson said that on pg.5. Just for the record.

Yeah it says I said some things that I didn't say too. Somebody is quoting wrong or something. I noticed that earlier.

It just did it here. I responded to DT and it says JTA
