You don’t watch much baseball, do you? Or are your posts driven by wishful thinking?

I believe he is far from poor catcher.

Average defensively but a great game caller and a nightmare to run on.

Pay that man his money!

Guy is worth 100+ mil. He’ll eventually get that.

Personally, I hate holding someone back just to delay arbitration for a year. I mean, isn’t winning more important than your bank account?

This is why GM’s mess with service time. $7.5M is a lot to pay for calling up a player a few weeks sooner than they might have.

Serious question here. Obviously, Wieters isn’t as good or accomplished as Posey at this point.
