Time to Give Navi Some Love
Night after night, Dioner Navarro is proving he is really that same guy who everyone in baseball wanted in 2004 after Baseball America named him the Yankees top prospect.
Not only is he hitting the baseball well, but let's not forget it was Navarro behind the plate in the last four games with Kaz, Shields, Jackson and Garza throwing gems. He caught all 13 innings in Toronto and just caught two 1-hit performances from the starters. Pitchers look comfortable throwing to him.
Navarro still hasn't made an error. Has no passed balls. Has thrown out four runners already for a 25 percent eraser rate (major league avg. last year was 22 percent).
Need more? How about .350 average with runners in scoring position. Since last August he is hitting over .300 overall.
AND he signed a baseball for my kids.

I'm being cautious with Navarro
He’s not THIS good, but I think he’s going to top his previous career highs.

I have always pulled for this guy.
If you go to a game read the article about his life, been through some rough times. I hope he keeps this up he could play an important role for the team. I think he can be a very solid catcher.
