Come back, play catcher, hit 15-20 HR, get educated, get paid.

He is a catcher. It's not like he's going straight into the MLB if he ever makes it at all. He will have time in the minors to adjust back to catching.

John Olreud did.

ETA: I think Mike Leake did too, but barry will have to confirm that for me.

Ty Ross is still in single A. Everyone in the minors has to learn. But showing you can play a position can drastically improve your draft stock for a guy like Chinea. Blake Dean tried this. It didn't work out great for him ultimately, but Chinea is not going to get much of a signing bonus at all as a 17th round pick. He can only help himself by trying to improve upon it. But, at the end of the day, who knows

It's just so hard at the next level; ridiculously hard as we all know.

Nola had (big Nola I should say)22 errors last year (and it was considered a pretty good year for him). Nola with 22 errors

The fact is nobody knows what Chinea will get offered and him signing is probably heavily dependent on that.

He could get offered no more than $10k or get offered $100k.

Right, people forget that they could offer him $100k and it not count against their pool.
