I agree. PM has always been cautious with freshman (besides Bregman). And I don't think it's a bad approach with a catcher who isn't used to catching so many games.

Papierski may have better catcher skills, but Chinea will still be in the lineup as DH at a minimum.

He was "a 2014 Cape Cod League All-Star; he hit .310 (27-for-87) with four doubles and 18 RBI for the Wareham Gatemen."

He also had a HR in the Cape's AS game. He batted about .375 in the fall so I am pretty sure Mainieri will stick with him in some fashion.

Not much else matters behind the plate. See Ross. I'm not comparing Pap to Ross just yet, but you have to play your best defensive catcher in today's game of bunts and steals. Hell, even Skip played Jorgensen over Cresse at times.

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. 100 days is a long time.

You're right. But we know Mainieri can be loyal to a certain player to a fault and therefore definitely won't commit to Pap early.

My point is that Chinea's hitting will keep him in the mix both at C and DH. (Remember Beetle at Skip's camp? "If you can hit, you will play!")

I'd love for Pap to start his career as a Ross and develop as a hitter into Gibbs. The fact that he is a switch hitter is an awesome bonus. 4 doubles and a .333 average in the fall was impressive for a true freshman.

And rightfully so. He's a really good hitter.

The usual. Russian mad. Emails/PMs sent. He didn't make fun of a dead guy this time though, so we're making progress.
