One final thought on pitch-framing: this is an area where old-school types and data heads should be united. For ages, scouts and coaches have talked about this intangible mythical quality of being a “good receiver” behind the plate or a good framer of pitches. Thanks to TrackMan technology, we have verified that this quality exists. The intangible is now tangible.

And yet you're $40 mil behind the Dodgers and $30 mil behind the Mets.

The freakin Mets.

"He doesn't block low pitches well, doesn't consistently throw out runners, calls a game poorly, and strikes out repeatedly. But man, can he frame pitches."

Said nobody ever.

No crap to you Donnie, you're okay by me, but I don't think it's a worthwhile stat to argue. At the end of the day, it's can he hit, can he run, can he throw, can he deliver. I just don't think framing pitches matters much in evaluating catchers. Just IMHO.

He's got an ugly girlfriend. An ugly girlfriend means he's got no confidence.

I'm sorry that the Andrew "The Bronx Kid" Velazquez story has played out. That series against the Red Sox was epic.

I realize this stuff is an inexact science, but the two guys that are now at the bottom of the Top 30 list are two guys that I believe were once sought after prospects in bigger trade possibilities.

I had shoulder impingement one time. A few weeks of physical therapy and I was pretty much back to normal. I am not a MLB pitcher however.

Well, if you hadn’t had the shoulder impingement, who knows.

My wife must have absolutely no confidence.
