It’s the only position, other than pitcher that can make a real positive difference for our defense. When a pitcher has confidence that the catcher will always block the ball, he can throw anything, it relaxes them. Plus, he throws runners out. He’s not the brightest star, but he might be a real key to our success

He has a quick pop and release. He is far from an elite blocker and framer.

And he hits about as good as me.

He will come in for defense. Neal will play a lot because of his bat.

He’s not our ONLY catcher.

Jay earlier in the week: “Alex has an elite throwing arm, maybe the best I’ve ever coached. He’s a good receiver, but we have several guys that are good receivers. He is probably our best at blocking balls & our guys trust him. But perhaps the biggest step he’s taken is becoming a leader & working with the other guys.”

Gotta hit better or DH.
Batting last year was below par for what’s expected this year.

Milazzo is the only solution at catcher. I don't care if he bats at .ooo. Catcher is the most important defensive position. Guys like Travenski may get a hit every 15-20 at bats, but he can't catch a baseball for shite. I like a player that knows and plays his position well regardless of batting average.

It just amazes me that two different coaching staffs couldn’t teach this guy how to hit.
