Re: Free Agent Catching Options
I think they're likely to give Mesoraco a shot next year. If not, they'll probably try to re-sign Ramon...I doubt they'll go with any other free agent.
Re: Free Agent Catching Options
No reason to look for a free agent with Corky Miller in the organization. ;)
The Reds should spend their limited FA money elsewhere.
Re: Free Agent Catching Options
Thoughts on Pierzynski vs Hernandez?
Re: Free Agent Catching Options
Look to the AFL for the answer, if Mes performs it could be the end of the "Bad Guy".
