Kottaras is tearing up in AAA - the least he deserve is a September call-up. I don't know if any good catcher is available outside the organization. By the way - Salty has sucked so far- looks like the braves sold high there.
Looking at Theo - I think it is safe to say that he signs players not based on past performance - but based on present and future performance. He has let a few favourite Sox go over the years. I am confident that Tek will not be re-signed. Considering how beloved Tek is in RSN and this board - I am surprised that we all agree he pretty much is aweful in offense. OK - also the fact he throws like my grandma to second base . I have never got the intangible part of Tek - but that's just me. I think if we get a good offensive catcher - I can live without those intangibles. Yeah I realize he has caught most no hitters and the Sox has tanked twice in past without him. And that means that he is invaluable to this team at present and in future ? I will question some of his pitches in Pap's recent struggle - and I do not think I am all alone. Do you guys see a hugh difference of game calling between Cash and Tek? Do major league pitchers need to be babysit by their catchers? I don't know the answers to those questions.
