Article: The Future of Twins Catching
Sum41 replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Admitted Lehmann supporter. I'm seeking help. Just a note: Below is the closest thing I could find to an even comparison, but saying someone has a lighter bat than Butera is pretty rough, especially considering the frequency of play within an organization with three catchers for each team. The Twins seem to have less of a need for a defensive-minded backstop, and I would imagine that the Twins will part ways with Lehmann and/or Butera this winter to make room for the more versatile Mauer secondaries. Lehmann AAA / .229 .315 .310 .625 (91 games) (>$15,000) Butera AAA / .220 .276 .308 .584 (115 games) ($700,000) Fryer AAA / .204 .307 .297 .603 (129 games) (<$50,000) However, I can't help but wonder if a team with such a struggling rotation couldn't benefit from a catcher that is a little more "defensive-minded?"
