The typical plate appearance consists of several pitches on each of which the batter must make a decision that helps reveal his skill. League average is just under 4. So those 103 at-bats contain a lot more useful information about the batter than do 103 SB attempts (or fielding chances in general).

After the last few years of teaching and coaching him to stay low with the twins, and I don't know if he crouched in school or not, That could take some time. Also, this whole staff from FO on down seems a little slow (or stubborn) to adapt.
December 5, 20223 yr It is far better to be the A's or Blue Jays with inflated Catcher value to sell... then it is to be the team who is desperate to pay that price. The Twins need to be the team that develops a Murphy or Moreno. If there is need to pay the marked up prices on catching, then the Twins catching problem is bad... because it's bad to be in that position. The current strength, potential and ability to develop and cultivate the players on the list below will tell you.... "How Big is the Twins Catching Problem?"

December 5, 20223 yr Using Logic which may or may not be worth something. Narvaez has pop and he worked with some of the best arms in baseball. If mid-tier is where we will be shopping and assuming Catchers work closely with pitchers. Maybe Narvaez can bring some Burnes, Hader, Woodruff, know how to our young pitchers.
