    Re: We have to talk about Corky

    So, I click on this thread and as I'm scrolling I get a text message from a friend of mine who played in the minors and was from the same general area as Corky in Cali. His text reads:

    "Holy crap, Corky is still playing? He was a senior when I was a freshmen."

    My friend is 35 years old.

    I'm sorry but you guys have to read this post. Wrote it before corkys last stint began. It's perfect for this thread.

    This is one I just don't get at all. Why Miller is on this team in a playoff chase is simply beyond me.

    Hannigan's hurt and he's an emergency catcher that the Reds can stash in AAA and call upon when needed. He provides relief to Mesaroco as catching is a physically demanding position.

    ....that's kinda the point. You could go out and have open tryouts and probably find somebody better in an afternoon. I get that people like Corky. He's apparently a good clubhouse guy, good with the pitchers, etc etc. He's Crash Davis without the bat. That said, he should be a bullpen coach somewhere and the Reds should bring something more closely resembling a real life MLB backup catcher.

    The point is that the Reds know what they are getting with Corky, and know who their two catchers are. If they went out and got somebody new they wouldn't be able to just send them up and down like they can Corky. If we make a move for a catcher it better be someone we want on our MLB roster, and someone we wouldn't mind having over Hannigan or Mes.

    I took a little nap at the start of the 2nd game and when I woke up they said Corky hit a double earlier in the game. I just thought I was dreaming.

    Hunter Pence robbed him of a double in his next at-bat. I when Jim Day said Miller would have had a double "or more."

    Here's the link to prove it. It was actually a line drive down the first base line. Corky looked a little surprised himself when he reached 2nd base.
