Also, I, like you, take comfort in what this says about Janssen's recovery but at the same time, I love the little guy and want to see him succeed in a jays uni.<BR/><BR/>On Arenchibia -<BR/><BR/>I listed him because I think that he's generally considered to have the best overall skill set. Jerolman is head and shoulders the best defender but his bat is looking like the next Brian Schnider (which is to say he glove will keep him in the majors, but he'll never be regarded a good overall catcher). <BR/>I, for one, have almost no faith in Diaz becoming a good all around major league catcher. I've seen too many better Latin catcher prospects come and go for us and have become a cynic. I had a lot of hopes for Quiroz. I'd love to be proven wrong. I thought Thigpen had a shot to be at least a Zaun type but he has sucked so VERY hard this year that I think he's closing his own window in Toronto.<BR/><BR/>That kinda makes JPA the choice by attrition.The Southpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978086362601077757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015756050247283814.post-82276297406883979252008-05-18T17:32:00.000-04:002008-05-18T17:32:00.000-04:00You figure Arencibia is our best catching prospect...You figure Arencibia is our best catching prospect?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015756050247283814.post-75476640073664774002008-05-18T10:32:00.000-04:002008-05-18T10:32:00.000-04:00Errata: Davis Romero is coming back from a torn la...Errata: Davis Romero is coming back from a torn labrum, not Tommy John surgery (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/news?playerId=28550).<BR/><BR/>He had his injury and surgery in 2007 about the same time as Casey Janssen had his in 2008 and was ready for spring training this year. It's almost a disservice to Davis; I'm pulling for him in large part because it sets precedence for Janssen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015756050247283814.post-32123247084163299432008-05-18T07:44:00.000-04:002008-05-18T07:44:00.000-04:00respect for the look down on the farm. i'm glad to...respect for the look down on the farm. i'm glad to see that league is doing well down in 'cuse. i still have lofty dreams for him. he's a rudey.Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.com
