Any position where Christian Vasquez is “elite” is not having a good time

Ramos is not in the second tier of catchers. He’s legit one of the worst defensive catchers in the league

Nido played over him today and it wasn’t a normal rest day

Vasquez last year hit .276/.320/.477 with 23 home runs. That is on par with Conteras line of .272/.355/.533 with 24 home runs

I understand that. I’m saying the catcher position in MLB is devoid of talent

He did in the past. This year he is the everyday 3B.

Jeff Mathis is so terrible at the plate. He had a wRC+ of 2 last year.

kiner-falefa played catcher his rookie year, but is not very good. He is playing 3B this year. Has been pretty good tbh. One of our better players.

Its weird, I feel like I have no idea whats going on with the Rangers despite them being a division mate and doing the West teams only schedule. Looking forward to the series in the new ballpark.
