I look forward to a Crooks / Bernal tandem in the future.

that's a tough one to sell...Bernal is still allowed to switch hit, but he's a better LHB. Crooks is a LHB...it's an unnecessary redundancy.

But it's not something we should need to worry about until 2027. Next year couple Pages with Crooks. Let Pozo go, or move him for some Int'l FA dollars.

I agree w that. Who knows, Bernal might not be able to hit a lick.

What does this mean, if anything, with our current crop of catchers?
It means STL has a very, very valuable trade piece at a position of outstanding organization depth - as I have perfectly analyzed and shared with all several times previously.
Wow. You alone figured out that a player who has been ranked very high by almost everyone since he was signed had trade value????
Shocking. 8O
