Because I think most would take Contreras if you're building a franchise. Posey is 60 years old in catcher years.

If I'm building a franchise I'd probably still take Posey or Grandal

Well, in two seasons you'll have your first baseman at least. Who then plays catcher?

I can tell you how that turns out. You move him to LF and then he ends up going back to AAA and striking out in 60% of his PA.

If you're building a franchise you'd want to take a long look at Frankie Mejia of the Indians.

Don't confuse your shitty draft picks with our shitty draft picks.

Posey for another year or two.. Then it's going to be Contreras and Sanchez battling it out for best catcher in mlb for a long time.


You say Contrearas and Sanchez as if they are equals.

Do you people not like the 24 year old catcher with the .950+ OPS in his first 450 PA and nice defense?

Gary Sanchez has 6 passed balls in 2017, second worst in the AL.

Gary Sanchez is good...going to be good. I'm not sure he is far and away better than Contreras.

06/29: Play at the plate in the first. Contreras waiting for the ball from the relay man doesn't kick the bat away which is laying at his feet and doesn't remove his mask so he can see better. Ball skips in right by the bat he ignored and what should have been an easy tag out results in a run. This guy doesn'thave the basics to be a cather and might be destined for LF.



It's also the umpires responsibility to get the bat out of the way.

But other than that, great point.

Hey Tricky Dick Bobbin,

I needed to say that about him because back when I opened this thread,that is what I saw and that is what I thought. Since then,I admit he has calmed down which is great since I'm rooting for him and the rest of the World Champs.
