I'm with you, Larry. I just can't get all hepped up over the catching situation at this point. I think we have larger issues right now, some of which you mentioned. Hitting with RISP is another concern.

So... Adding a AAA catcher doesn't solve the pitching challenge which appears to be turning around now. Our bigger challenges are Crawford isn't hitting, Youk has had a slow start, and pitching started slow. Now the pitching seems to be turning - whether due to Tek or otherwise - at least we appear to be on a better trajectory in this category. Tek may not be hitting but if he's pulling the ERAs down dramatically I can live with a low avg in the 7 or 8 hole. Any news on Youk this morning?
