    The Tyler Stephenson Thread

    Didn’t see a thread specifically dedicated to him and thought it might be of some use after his electric debut yesterday. Going to be really fun watching this kid develop.

    How good CAN he be?

    For a catcher he doesn't have be Mike Trout to be extremely valuable. I'm pumped about him for sure. He and Garcia could be the backbone of our team in 3-4 years from now.

    Nice of Bell not to use him at all tonight and instead use absolute dud Christian Colon

    He will be a platoon guy at best if Bell sticks around.

    Seems to have a nice short swing. Looks as strong as a June day is long. Really excited about him and Garcia as potential leaders in a few years.

    He's been a pro for 5+ seasons now.

    Isn't everyone potentially a platoon guy with Bell around. Beginning to think he may be Bob Boone 2.0.

    The guys generally platooning are guys who are terrible hitting against the opposite pitching.

    Winker couldn’t hit Brett Cecil.

    Platooning catching makes great sense.

    Votto, Moose, Galvis, Saurez, Senzel, Cast not platooning.

    His platooning is vastly overrated.

    And early on with pitchers going less innings, it makes great sense.

    Re: The Tyler Stephenson Thread

    Is Stephenson the first MLBer to have his first home run in front of zero paid attendance?

    Edit: Yes, he is.

    You know, that's actually something that no one else will ever be able to say.
