Unless they think he can hit for more power if he doesn’t have to focus on catching anymore. I do find it odd that both McKeithan and Hendrie keep playing over him.
Don't know why it would be, except this is the Pirates. He's one of their better MiL catchers. The other Cs with Altoona, McKeithan and Hendrie, are org. guys.
Bradenton’s gonna have serious pitching problems. Clevari Tejada failed to survive the first. Walked in two runs. Tried to be real fine and kept just missing. Malone in, throwing 89-90 mph meatballs with zero command. Nine runs in, first not over.
Barco is throwing a 2 hitter through 4 with a 1-0 lead at AA. The unique part of this is that the Curve have not had a hit in the game. Somehow parlayed 5 walks and a SF to score their run. Saw that 9-0 beating in A and thought it must have been an early game - did not realize it was in the first inning.
BA has a list of 10 young prospects who got their attention in April. They included Esmerlyn Valdez. Tiny sample size, but much less swing and miss so far.

He’s got it!
Giving myself credit -- When Tyler Kennedy came in for Bradenton, I immediately left. He faced nine hitters. Walked five and hit one. Score is 18-0.
Assuming the Shawn Ross catching experiment is over?

Alfonzo better be up by June, May if I’m being honest.
Ross definitely looked like a legitimate catcher when I
Messed that comment up. Agree, he looked legit last year. He’s a big dude but looked smooth.
Rivas with HR #2. What’s gotten into him?

Barco out after 4. Appears to be 60 P limit rn.
Gonna be an early game for me. God knows who else will pitch today. Bishop just walked down toward the pen.
Am I imagining that Burrows had a tick or two more at the top end prior to surgery?
