Jim Cowan Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 56 minutes ago, 1984Echoes said: Maybe Ali Sanchez as a backup catcher? .732 OPS this year in AAA before today's 3 for 4 (all singles). He's playing 1st Base so they're trying to expand his positions for a utility role in 2023? I could do that. Rogers at Catcher and Haase backing up + OF/ RH'd DH and Sanchez as backup catcher and 1B and...? I think he's the better defensive catcher so he's our #1 backup catcher next year? Just a WAG... That's 3 catchers plus Cabrera. I don't think that a backup firstbaseman is something that you can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentally and emotionally (if only I had the power to do that managerially...). And I believe the assessment is that Haase isn't the greatest defensive catcher...? Last point: Sanchez could very well possibly still be the 3rd catcher... but still at Toledo in 2023? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Sanchez is probably a 40 man guy at this point, unless the team is more aggressive with Dillon Dingler than one anticipates. But it's hard to see him breaking camp with the Tigers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be 1B by committee for the Hens for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended 3/5. Almost hope he cools off a little so we can see where he really is going to settle. He's now at a 970 OPS since August 1st - it doesn't seem likely that is really his new "normal"!!

Strange state line for Santana for sure. Overall the guy has held his own as the youngest positional player in that league. A 117 RC+ for the year is pretty solid.

Edman85 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Garcia consensus from everything I have gathered. Big J2 signing in 2017, did great in complex league in 2018. Promoted to full season ball rather aggressively the next year and it was clear he was overmatched. Repeated the level after the pandemic and found his footing, really got hot late last year, prompting the Phillies to add him to the 40 man sooner than they had hoped. It does look like he fell on his face this year, but I don't know the extent of his injury. Scouting consensus seems to be slick fielder who needs to hit, and his hitting has been pretty Jeckyl/Hyde. I don't mind this pickup, but don't think he is worth a 40 man spot over the offseason. It can't hurt to try to slip him through waivers after the season and give him next year to try to find something. He's only 21. It seems like a lottery ticket.

Edman85 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Looks like it was a hand injury that had him out much of the time from late April-mid July. I can see how that would adversely affect a hitting line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his developmental arc and the swing and miss still present in his game, He has greatly reduced his strikeout rate this year, to 17%, despite the promotion.
