I'm just very skeptical about McGuire being a #1 catcher. That's an understatement, actually. The Jays and White Sox both unloaded him last year. Hell, the White Sox took Diekman back and gave us another player to boot.
Some folks think all this was a coup on Bloom's part. I think it might be just another cost-cutting move and one with disastrous consequences. Why do we think this guy is actually good, when 2 other teams got rid of him for next to nothing?
