Id honestly be OK if we gave Kurt a long term deal.


Edit:Nvm he is 34, I thought he was closer to 30. Still would give him a 3 year deal

He's too old for a long term deal.

He'll be 35 before the end of the season, and has spent 12 years as a catcher.

I'd be fine with keeping him around as long as he's willing and able, but hopefully we learned our lesson about long term deals with older players with Dan Uggla.

When Flowers gets back, we need to give Suzuki a couple of games off. Even when we use Perez, Suzuki has had to come in at some point during the game nearly every time.

Oh yeah. I would Play Suzuki 4 days a week and Flowers 3. And Suzuki 4 and Flowers 2 when we play 6 game weeks.

Winkler was our best option a couple years ago until he blew out his elbow.

Suzuki has earned the primary spot no doubt, but I'm saying when Flowers gets back, give Suzuki those first couple of games off. He hasn't had a true game off since Chris Stewart was optioned.

I'd be fine with Markakis laying down a sacrifice. I have confidence in Camargo to get the run in from third with one out. Plus if they shift, it could be bases loaded.
