So how does he look defensively so far? If he hits, they will find a place for him to play....craviduce wrote: ↑04 Sep 2025 21:00 pmsigned as a 3B, moved to Catcherbccardsfan wrote: ↑04 Sep 2025 20:58 pm Pardon my ignorance, but looked at his stats and he is listed at C and 3B.

much better than advertised last off season...throwing out 30% of base stealers, stopping pitches in the ground....framing is the thing he needs to work on...but 2 years as a catcher, he's doing rather wellbccardsfan wrote: ↑04 Sep 2025 21:02 pmSo how does he look defensively so far?

Well, we seem to be rich in catchers in the minors. Be an interesting off season.craviduce wrote: ↑04 Sep 2025 21:04 pmmuch better than advertised last off season...throwing out 30% of base stealers, stopping pitches in the ground....framing is the thing he needs to work on...but 2 years as a catcher, he's doing rather wellbccardsfan wrote: ↑04 Sep 2025 21:02 pmSo how does he look defensively so far?

there's a full season between Rainiel and Bernal...let him stay at Catcher for a whilebccardsfan wrote: ↑04 Sep 2025 21:06 pmWell, we seem to be rich in catchers in the minors.

Certainly, I was thinking of Crooks too. Bloom may trade someone for pitching.craviduce wrote: ↑04 Sep 2025 21:07 pmthere's a full season between Rainiel and Bernal...let him stay at Catcher for a whilebccardsfan wrote: ↑04 Sep 2025 21:06 pmWell, we seem to be rich in catchers in the minors.

it's going to be interesting with Crooks III and Bernal....Bernal is a switch hitter, but he's better from the LH side. Crooks III is a LHB...nitpicking: Bernal better framer, better arm...but Crooks is good at those, too...it's not a huge discrepancy.bccardsfan wrote: ↑04 Sep 2025 21:10 pmCertainly, I was thinking of Crooks too.

that'll give us 3 in the Top 50 with JJ, Doyle, and Rainiel. I'm not sure if Bernal stays Top 100 in every publication, but he might.
it's a good "problem" to have.craviduce wrote: ↑04 Sep 2025 21:21 pmit's going to be interesting with Crooks III and Bernal....Bernal is a switch hitter, but he's better from the LH side.

Rainiel's bat is going to play more so than Bernal and Crooks...he's a RHB...so there's a compliment of RHB/LHB...whomever the F.O. chooses to couple with Rainiel....imo
