Another one?!?!Nice deflection there, Mr All My Homies Hate Amed Rosario. I think CFD needs a fecal sample from you.

Put that money into a capable backup catcher. I beg you.

Extend Cam, you say?Put that money into a capable backup catcher. I beg you.
In case anyone was wondering.
Tito isn’t going anywhere. Will take some time away from baseball and try to get healthier but will remain in the organization in some capacity to be determined.
So it’s not entirely good bye.

Like don’t get me wrong, the areas that you and tondo are and have been talking about are absolute concerns.
100%.
I don’t want the idea out there that I am ignoring these in any way. They need to get better, otherwise he is going to remain wildly inconsistent.
But I do think a lot of the areas of concern for him at this moment are areas that get better with experience. You combine that with the quality of contact numbers, the defensive profile, the raw power, the willingness to take BBs (and I get the BB rate is down, that’s a product of how he’s being pitched here though).
It’s easy to see why you better be sure he won’t get better in those areas before moving off of him, otherwise you may be kicking yourself a year or 2 down the line while dealing with a higher floor/lower ceiling guy who barely strays away from their floor, which is the risk you take with 2 “safer” prospects waiting behind him.
We see the severity of his issues and his upside (as a hitter) differently. Also have a different perspective on the disappearing walk rate since the Rosario trade. It’s a product of approach and completely under his control.Like don’t get me wrong, the areas that you and tondo are and have been talking about are absolute concerns.

To move this beyond Arias, plate approach IMO is the biggest issue the club needs to address this winter and should be the emphasis of many exit interviews. If I didn’t know better I’d say the offensive theme this year was, “Be the least you can be”. Honestly, Gimenez disturbs me the most in that regard (likely has to do with my investment in his upside).
