Didn't Salty burn some bridges here? I thought I read/heard that.

think that bridge was burned from both sides. He burned some and we burned some. I don't see any way we bring Salty back.

Kurt Suzuki is a great defensive catcher that can help handle a staff. AJP was lazy behind the plate in both receiving pitches and letting passed balls get by him. If both catchers cannot hit anyway, I would rather the dude who knows how to catch.

great defensive catcher you say
great?
opinions tend to vary.....Pass

Least surprising move of the winter. I was hoping he would land there. He and Ian can have fun.

Not a bad idea to sign. Always a chance of being surprised. Also I have hopes of Soto becoming a better hitter playing full time. He appears to be a quality guywith some potential to find his old stroke. Best of luck to the guy.

Kurt would be a backup all the way. Probably catch about 50 games max.

Agree. Good for Nathan and the Tigers.

 

[fordman84]

backup catching wish list:

Nieves
Buck
Suzuki

Buck has been on some bad teams. Not every player gets to spend their entire career surrounded by all stars.

If there is not a better choice out there, I have no problem with Kurt as a back up. By the way, why do some people always hunt for fly specks in the pepper shaker?

The home spun philosophy of DT Luna. Nothing more could be said to that. From a fellow Mean Greener.

Some try to nit pick the smallest things.

Many times when I see someone post/say something which I find clever I steal it, use it, and claim it as my own. But in this case, I'm gonna leave your's to you.

Very good
