Looks like it's up to me now...

[Zvon]

no satan post for me,huh?

I like THAT omen.

lol

[Zvon]

good game guys

[MFS62]

They used to be a catcher named Hal A Smith.
They called him "Heart Attack" , or HA to differentiate him from another catcher of the same era named Hal Smith. (IIRC Hal W. Smith).
It was meaningful because he had suffered a heart attack.

Looper doesn't get heart attacks.
But he's a carrier.

I coulda sworn one of the reasons why I was told Castro should start next year was his stellar defense.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Remember VACAtE .

Virtually All Closers Add to Exasperation.

Advocate improvement, but let's not pretend (a) that this started with Looper, ( that it'll necessarily end with Looper's banishment, or © that alleged Met fans didn't make this worse by demonizing Looper's predecessors.

[seawolf17]

Castro's been an offensive catcher his whole career; he's not bad defensively, but he's no Gold Glover either. He hit 27 homers in 390 AB with Calgary in 2001, with an OBP of .393 and an OPS of 1.021.

[Elster88]

His stats from the minors from four years ago are largely irrelevant, IMHO.

[seawolf17]

No, they're relevant, because it shows that he can hit, given full-time duty. He hasn't really been given that chance. He went .259 .338 .569 .907 with four homers and 16 RBI in 58 AB in August; that's respectable near full-time work.
