Hope he works out for you guys

As a Yankee fan...we've SEEN a below average defender behind the plate or YEARS with Posada. It's nothing new. And every time I see Martin try to throw out a runner...the ball tails to the right of Jeter, Cano doesn't stop it, and the runner always goes to 3rd. He can block balls...but he can't stop anything. But even though he was a liability...the Yankees still played well year in and year out. And Arencibia is not the reason why the Jays are 11 games back. Maybe he lost you a game or 2 overall...but is that less than what he has won with the bat?

Nope JP isnt the reason why we are where we are, but once this team is ready to contend, I wont feel comfortable with him behind the plate. It wont really be a issue anyways, I think Travis d'Arnaud is the teams future catcher.

And Sanchez is still a ways away from the Majors...so until he's ready...you let Montero show what he's got. And that should start next season. You can't continue to stunt his growth. We're seeing what it's done by putting him back to Triple-A for a second full year after he did his part there last year. Can they really keep him in Triple-A for a THIRD straight season?
