Hopefully, the hesitancy to take on any salary is an indication of upcoming deals for Gordo, Salvy (renog) and hopefully Zobrist. Probably has something to do with Cain and Moose being arbo eligible too. |

Why do we need a backup catcher at this point? Run Butera out there 10-12 more times this year, and Sal will play every game in the postseason.

It just takes one concussion for Salvy to be out for a series or more. Find that backup catcher. We're all in, I'm not worried.

If, say, the Royals had an open DH spot and a backup worth that much, they could more easily rest Perez in the DH spot and give the backup more PT.

I don't know. We have a backup C who can bunt for fluke singles. You can not put a price on that.

The harsh truth is, they are the best team in the AL right now and if we have to see them in the playoffs, they already have the confidence that they can whoop our asses. If we had taken more games from them this season, I wouldn't be as worried. |

Why? From 2002-2010 playoff games avg 4.37 runs/team, not that far from 4.72 during the season. Why would Toronto suddenly have trouble scoring against us, when they avg 5.57 against us in 7 games (5.52 vs all teams).

It would be a tough series, but if the Royals have homefield advantage, it's not something worth hitting the panic button about. And if Ventura keeps up what he's been doing, I really like the Cueto/Volquez/Ventura/Medlen rotation matching up against anyone in the AL.

Yea boy, the Jays hit like the Bash Brothers. I figured they cool off, but it seems to be a very confident lineup.

Salvy's career splits are even and this year he is way better against rhp. Why are they looking for a platoon option?
