Frankly, to me, it's a battle between Gallagher and Veal (and maybe Atkins).

 

And I'll debate with any of you Gallagher-backers (Serena) in Veal's favor. Bring it!

[Flames24Rulz]

My vote is a toss-up between Gallagher and Veal, but I'd have to go with Sean.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The overwhelming evidence in Pie's favor will be presented later today. Hopefully we won't see a repeat of last year's tragic mistake of Nolasco not winning.

Don't find too many minor league catchers with 50 xbh's in a season...

A poll will be set up. I think Raisin is going to do that later today.

Nope. Plus, he's been the best offensive player in the system this year. He's starting to turn it up in AA. .850 OPS, decent walk rate, just short of being a legit asset in his game. K rate is solid for a power hitter. Right around 1K per 5 AB, definitely acceptable. And I did rag on his defense earlier, but he's not THAT bad defensively. Great throwing arm. He works well with pitchers from what I hear. He has caught a lot of talented pitchers who have wicked stuff, and a lot of guys have performed quite well with him behind the dish (career years for Mateo and Shaver, has caught Gallagher, and I also believe he got a game or 2 with Veal before he was promoted).

 

That being said, my vote goes to THE DON! But I could be persuaded before my committee vote!

 

1. Veal

2. Fox

3. Atkins

4. Gallagher

5. Moore
