Pirates or somebody will give him a backup job. He's pleasant and confident hitterOzziesfan41 wrote: ↑21 Nov 2025 16:50 pm I definitely understand dumping pozo the cardinals have too many catchers already but man his .345 .885 OPS as a pinch hitter was nice and he came up with some big pinch hits
He could try to buy a nice big sedan to house his family and maybe use it to run some type of off-season painting business or something. An old Buick Park Ave might work.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑21 Nov 2025 16:53 pmPirates or somebody will give him a backup job.

A little bit, he had a down year this year, but he was good the previous year. He still throws 60% ground balls so that's pretty good. He may get re-signed for less money. He gave up more gopher balls than usual this year. I really liked Pozo and like someone mentioned earlier had some big clutch hits for us. Robberse is injured and Alcala isn't worth the money.imetsatchelpaige wrote: ↑21 Nov 2025 17:22 pm Pozo will be a free agent for about 15 minutes.

Yea you’re right about that. I liked him he reminded me of Gerald Perry when he was the pinch hitting extraordinaire for the cardinals but like I said I understand the decision they have better catchers and are deep at that position so I get itscoutyjones2 wrote: ↑21 Nov 2025 16:53 pmPirates or somebody will give him a backup job.

Part of determining who to leave unprotected is the odds of them being drafted. Do you really see either player being so highly thought of by another team they’re willing to not only draft them AND keep them on their MLB roster all season? I just don’t see it.Jobu's Rum wrote: ↑21 Nov 2025 18:54 pm Couldn't this have been done before the Rule 5 picks? Maybe could have saved Blaze and Hansen???
We shall see. Pozo is a backup and is valuableOzziesfan41 wrote: ↑21 Nov 2025 19:49 pmYea you’re right about that.
