He'll hit in the Sox stacked line up, he's better defensively than Bogarts and he gives the Sox flexibility if Xander shoots for the moon on his next contract..296/.365/.515/.880
.203/.292/.426/.718
Enjoy.
Ideally he would play SS right away and Bogey would switch to 2B where his glaring lack of range would be less of a negative.

Misplayed by the RF (he should have caught it) and the CF (he fumbled it a couple times).
Against a major league OF, that “inside the park home run” is a circled 9 in the scorebook. Little League HR if I ever saw one.

I mean it's the last week of spring training, there shouldn't be that many outfielders left in camp who can't at least play capable MLB defense, you make it sound like that was an 18 year old kid falling down out there and you've never seen a major league outfielder miss a ball that hit the wall like that. He also scored the other two Mariner runs in the game and threw out a baserunner, I mean I can find other highlights
Is this one from the start of camp a more appropriate hit to get excited about?

The projection systems love him.
ZiPS: .282/.341/.465, 124 wRC+, 3.4 WAR (in 91 games)
Steamer: .273/.342/.461, 123 wRC+, 3.0 WAR (in 126 games)
ZiPS projects him for more WAR because of defense (it has him at +6.7 runs, Steamer has him at -2.2), but I'm not sure how reliable defensive projections are.

The people love him too. It's not even that baseball people are unanimous on him, it's that you're hard pressed to find anyone with even a single negative thing to say about him. The skills, the body, the character, the performance, it's all positive reviews in every corner of baseball. He makes everyone smile and watch.

Why are the Mariners wearing light blue? Aren't their colors Navy & Teal?

No idea, I'm not an Ms fan and I doubt they have much of an answer anyway

I just watched that replay again, watch how high the ball hits on the wall in the second view from the other camera out there. It looks lower in the view from the first camera, I no longer think that it was as "catchable" as I initially did. I would love to know what the percentages were on it,
And I also think that he is safe even if the CF picks it up clean (I suspect that the scorekeeper would say that he agrees, you may not).
edit: I just realized something... the Mariners twitter doesn't show the replay. Sorry about that. Watch where the ball hits the wall, it was higher up than it appeared

edit: looks like it is a Reg Season Alternate

Longevity for a catcher is a special quality. I think he is over-rated, but you can still be over-rated AND be really good.
IMHO, he is probably a fence guy. But he will likely end up being a first ballot guy.
IMHO, he is probably a fence guy. But he will likely end up being a first ballot guy.
my problem with him is the bat. He wasn't a bad hitting catcher, but we're still talking about a guy with a 97 OPS+ (and he only had 7 seasons with an OPS+ of 100 or higher) and he has 11 seasons below his career average. The batting stats compare pretty poorly to most HOF catchers and others that didn't get inducted
he's like the Bill Maz of catchers
