Milazzo is what he is at this point. He doesn’t need reps to prove anything

His defense isn't what it used to be. But he also isn't getting any consistent playing time which could be contributing to that. Neal looks pretty bad behind the plate and he hasn't been hitting well enough to justify his defense. At this point, I'd be fine with any of the three catchers being a regular back there. I'm not a fan of the 3 headed monster. Some consistency there might help the pitching.

Todd Walker, Mahtook, and Jared Mitchell in the past week have all said they could see how it affects players to be shuffling the lineup. Some of these players are probably pressing b/c they think if they don't have a great day, they may get benched. Or in some cases, they have a good game and still get benched. Kling looked really good Thursday and wasn't in the lineup on Friday. I know Jay likes to play matchups. But if someone like Kling is getting warmed up, he should stay in the lineup.

Sounds like some spin coming from you. Needing reps is not limited to younger players.

I have to admit I thought Milazzo so had better stats. Those numbers are a little eye opening. I have felt more disappointed in Neal than Miles so so far this year. Part of that would be my expectations for each. Cudos to Neal for the recent uptick.

You made a good point about Kling when it comes to this, but the same logic doesn’t apply to Milazzo? He just is who he is? Why doesn’t he deserve more reps but Kling does?
