At least last year our shitty back-up catcher John Baker could pitch.

Ross can't do anything.

The best pitch framer in baseball so far this year? That would be the Cubs’ own David Ross, according to Baseball Savant by way of this Washington Post article. More than 14% of the pitches Ross receives outside of the strike zone are called strikes (the next closest competitors are down at 11.7% (Yasmani Grandal) and 11.5% (Francisco Cervelli)). We knew that Ross – like the starting catcher ahead of him, Miguel Montero – was an excellent framer, but what I find particularly interesting about him leading the entire league is the fact that he mostly catches Jon Lester. It makes you wonder whether a catcher can become especially good at framing when he’s working consistently with a specific pitcher, especially one with excellent command like Lester. Makes sense, right? If this holds throughout the year, it is even more support for both the Ross signing and the personal catcher setup that has clearly emerged.

David Ross = Paul Bako for the people who aren't so damn old?

Look, Coghlan is a great spare part. He just screws up too often to be an everyday guy.

David Ross still sucks. He just got lucky yesterday.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

coghlan is miscast. i think he sucks b/c he's forced to play everyday thereby exposing his limitations.

i wouldn't hate him if he was a bench player but he's an everyday guy so here we are.

baez busting his finger screwed up my hope that bryant gets kicked to LF and baez starting knocking bombs from 3rd.

Chris Coghlan is doing a very nice job ever since the first couple weeks of the season.

Last month: .284/.342/.507 for an .850 OPS.

flip him to seattle before he crashes. demand tijuana walker or james paxton.

Keep Coghlan and keep Denorfia. Platoon them in left when Soler comes back. Do not allow Junior Lake to take another at-bat. Outfield is set.

chris coghlan has been good. he can stay now.

i still don't like david ross. he hasn't been a total trainwreck lately but that isn't saying much. his "hot streak" would be considered sucking ass for 98% of mlb-ers.

I have to admit,Ross defense may be above average. I have no problem with him on the roster because you need good D for a playoff run. You have Montero for hitting.
