You don't get Christian Vasquez to be a backup to shitty Maldy. You don't give up legitimate prospects for a once a week backup catcher. If that's what you want, you go get a Dustin Garneau, Jason Castro veteran non hitter for nothing. Why anyone thinks Vasquez is a backup blows my mind

People buy into the myth of Maldy. His actual defense in overrated, he's not that good of a pitch receiver. So basically his only skill is being a nanny to our pitching staff. He can do that from a backup role.

Vazquez is +5 in runs saved. Maldonado is -3. Both aren’t good pitch framers. Vazquez is around 30 percent base stealers caught. Maldonado is at 25 percent. The offensive comparison is no contest.

There is no tangible asset Maldonado has that Vazquez doesn’t have. Make him a coach, hell, let him wear Orbit’s costume. But his appearances should be reduced to 1 or 2 games a week.
