Jays Sign Ramon Castro

by Tom Dakers on Dec 14, 2009 8:46 PM EST in Toronto Blue Jays News

For a moment we didn't have any catchers, now we have 3 though Raul signed a minor league contract, Ramon Castro signed for a year and a million. Click on his name for his stats. A defense first catcher, who hits the ball hard when he does hit the ball.

Getting a catcher for defense first

is just like burning money

Not really

There is a need for one. Why the Jays need 2 is beyond me. Just like 2 light hitting defense-first shortstops.
Hmmm, Maybe AA likes things in 2’s

well

at least Chavez is on a minor league deal…but I don’t like the tandem of John Buck and Ramon Castro as your everyday catchers…ahhh well hopefully JP Arencibia will be ready soon or D’Arnaud

D’Arnaud is a few years away from MLB, I think

A couple...not a few.

Castro isn't bad

he’s not durable, and his bat isn’t anything to get too excited about, but his career offensive numbers are better than plenty of everyday catchers out there.
