Edgy MD Site Manager Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 He's probably a better player than we saw last year.However much he outperforms or doesn't outperform his 2012 self, he's the most experienced knuckleball catcher in baseball. And as much as that experience came by luck, having a rare skill set has a value.How surprising that the Jays wanted Nickeas also.
seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Didn't I read somewhere that they wanted Nickeas as a fallback to Thole? Catchers get hurt.
