Series Thread: Rematch of 2010 WS, Rangers host Giants 7/31-8/2

So I guess we're sticking with Chirinos and Corpy-type players at catcher for the forseeable future. I don't get it, but whatever.

i don't either maybe they're going after Wieters or Avila in the off-season

Very true.

 

[scotsman1948]

Very true.

we don't seem to have many other options

Haha. JD really, really seems infatuated with National League pitching.

A lot of teams prefer to not trade within their respective leagues. Just depends on which teams are dealing.

He didn't seem to have a problem with it when he acquired Uehara and Lee, but since then he sure seems to. It seems to really limit your possibilities if you decide to not deal with an entire league. He didn't mind trading for a position player in Prince from the AL. I really think he has an affinity of some sorts with NL pitching. I guess it could just be a huge coincidence.

Ege was getting it done in the minors. Telis for Sam...ok. Why the need to throw in Ege?

I see the opposite being problematic, no need to toss Telis in with our lack of catching depth throughout the system

Ege? Replaceable, but push come to shove I'd rather see him here than Dyson at this point

It is almost certainly a coincidence.

Not sure who the starter and backup catchers are at each level of our minor league system.

AAA - Brett Nicholas, JT Wise
AA - Alex Burg, Patrick Cantwell
A+ - Kellin Deglan, Oliver Carabello, David Lyon, Kevin Torres
A- -Jose Trevino, Chuck Moorman, Marcus Greene Jr.

I know Nicholas bc he's a solid hitting catcher, and he's been in the system a while, Kellin Deglan bc he was a 1st round or comp pick a couple years ago and hasn't really progressed with the bat much, and Jose Trevino bc he's put up solid offensive numbers in Hickory, I believe Deglan is solid defensively but I odn't know much about any of the other guys

Trevino was the only one that cracked our top 30 and he came in at 28, and only after all the guys that were traded are removed

Hopefully Trevino develops quickly bc he's our only hope for a homegrown catcher anytime soon

Appreciate that. I guess the guys to keep our eyes on are possibly Nicholas but he has only thrown out 27% of base stealers, and Burg, Carabello and Trevino. Deglan has some pop but that is at High Desert. Saw where we are trying to move the High A ball team back to the Carolina league.

It's unfortunate that we don't get to face Hudson tomorrow.

 

[Bmurph]

WTF was JD doing on this last trade for Dyson? Don't see it at all

 

[Bmurph]

we don't seem to have many other options

Wieters ok, don't really want Avila though

 

[romeo212000]

I'd like to know the reasoning.

Nobody likes that trade from what I've seen, giving up Telis for a mediocre NL bullpen RHP is foolish

Seems that way.

 

[DT LUNA]

Martinez vs SF offense is quite a challenge.

 

[romeo212000]

Martinez is just terrible.
