I dislike this trade because the guy we got doesn't seem to be anything special. And on DEFENSE either! Well maybe he'll block more balls and not make boneheaded plays. But he was their backup. How good can he actually be? Not very, right? I must say, he better show ALOT of good defense for this to seem worth it. It would be interesting to see if this proceeds some trading deadline trades. I don't mind "shoring up the defense" at the catcher position if it means we are still gonna fix a few other things as well. (getting rid of jones, eyre, izzy, etc. . possibly getting an offense upgrade at SS. .)
