Yeah, but Burrell will probably take Aki's spot, so Thayer'll go down.
Friedman seemed to hint the other day that it was a temporary move for Dale anyway.
why do people think thayer is going anywhere?
we have a 12 man pitching staff right now, so you think we’re gonna run with 11?

He prob tore something in his knee
My inside scoop is he is out for the year
The slide? Yes
Running home when a guy is flopping around like a fish out of the water while in extreme pain? I’d call that bush no matter who did it
Marlins are mired in a nearly month long stretch of under-performance
If he scores it would be spun as a turning point to their season. Much like Shields whiffing on Crisp

I'm not sure what you are basing this on?
Navi has been consistently one of the worst offensive catchers in the league. He had a good stretch last year, but I trust the far larger sample size of massive offensive suckitude.
And I agree Navi is better than some of those catchers
He is still one of the worst in the league. However just being a starting MLB catcher for a few years in a row makes him pretty good in itself. He just isn’t good compared to his peer group.
I think he is better than every single one of those catchers
by a longshot. If he puts up a .315-.325 wOBA and his defense is assumed as at least average as a result of his good ability throwing out runners he is very useful
The data shows he is one of the worst offensive catchers every single year he has played except last. A few spots above average last year. My scale is starting catchers.
So what are oyu basing him being decent on?
The data shows otherwise.
Look at his career wOBA. Look at it year by year. Compare it to others. It is pretty simple. Every single year except last he is one of the worst in the league.
Again, you're basing this on what.. 3 major league seasons?
He had one rough season, one good one, and one we’re in the middle of.
you say every year
as if there are more than two. Compare it to other starting catchers? The problem is a bunch of other catchers can’t hold
The other catchers have performed better than Navi
If Navi was held to the same standard as other catchers he wouldn’t have a job.
And he had 302 PA in 2006 and 200 in 2005
I’m not sure how you can totally discount those years
You have to assume that he hasn't peaked though
He hasn’t even started to hit his prime and most other catchers were in AAA at his age.

by Sandy Kazmir on May 24, 2009 5:07 PM EDT up reply actions
Sure
I don’t think he is this bad. I think he is average against his peers at best over the next few years. Good enough to hold a job but nothing worth praising.
I can dig that
I think we all know the value of average players though
