Travinski and Milazzo are the first two at C; do you think Frey is at C before Neal?


I can’t imagine Milazzo catches over Neal or Trav. He is at best a 300 hitter with little to no power. His defense isn’t that good compared to the other 2 plus the others are plus offensive players. My understanding was that Neal was good defensively as well.

ETA. I typed it in wrong. Meant to say Milazzo’s fielding prowess is not at a level that is so good that makes up for his serious shortcomings at the plate compared to the other 2.

I don't even know which direction to go with here.

Did you not watch the baseball team last year?

.300 hitter AT BEST???

His defense isn't that good compared to Travinski?

WTF is going on here.

Milazzo is a great defensive catcher. Did you watch the World Series tre Morgan play? The bat was better last year as well. He’s a 250ish hitter, but I’m ok with that for the defense he provides.

He out hit several players on the roster in Omaha.

I've also seen Jay call for him to bunt on 2 outs and 2 strikes twice last year. So I don't know how much him being asked to execute those plays factors into his batting average.
