    I think you're right about that--for the most part. Those that keep stats on such tell us that there are some catchers that get more calls off the plate than others. I think those that yank the ball back to the center of the plate are doing themselves more harm than good, but I have no data to support that. The electronic strike zone will eliminate that, and I hope it comes sooner rather than later. The home plate umps in the recent White Sox series was awful for the most part. I've heard some object that it's not perfect, to which I rejoin "I'd settle for better, we'll work on perfect." JcS

    I will admit it: I was not in favor of signing a guy that could only DH at this point. I figured that a fourth or fifth outfielder could be the DH, and play the field when necessary. In the immortal words of the comedian Ron White: I was wrong! So I don't want my opinion now to be tainted by that. If Cruz is available at the right price, AND seems to be healthy, I'd be fine for another year with him. If the NL goes to the DH, though, the first part of that equation may be a problem. 15 more possible suitors for him could drive up the price. JcS
