Catchers and Things

OK, let's get serious here. The PB Post, Herald and S-S all reveal this morning that the Marlins are fed up with Miguel Olivo, 12 errors, 16 passed balls. That's fine with me. Not much of a bat, not much defense. The Marlins could do better. S0 they're looking at Torrealba, who ranks near the bottom of the league in throwing out runners -- 19.7 percent of the time... Olivo was third in the league, throwing out 32.9 percent.... Charles Johnson 1997 and Pudge 2003 were great defensive catchers, and that's what you need to be a champ.... So please, no Torrealba -- or Barrett for that matter, who was mentioned in S-S. He's even worse than Torreabla, at 16.3 percent ... And while nobody asked, maybe if they deal Cabrerra they can find a second baseman and unload Uggla. Sure, he hits homers, but he strikes out a lot, particularly when there are runners in scoring position. And he's a crummy fielder. Look at those 2003 marlins -- and man, that infield was solid -- made those pitchers look good....
