Douchecroy is currently a free agent....Think they are happy with the Hedges-Rivera platoon or they gonna pick up another catcher?

Yeah, not my finest work, but that dude can forever fuck himself.I'm embarrassed for you on that one
Luv ya sporstcoach, but you're out of your anime-loving mind with this one.
As has been pointed out, Napoli was still a good player that season, and so could lead by example. He earned his spot through his play, not because of his Obi-Wan like ability to guide young people.
Pujols would be a wild shot in the dark -- a vague hope that his terrible on-field play would be outweighed by a fantastic presence in the locker room. I question the message it would send to the rest of the roster to take up a spot with a guy whose on-field performance is that bad. And there's always the chance it could backfire and have the opposite effect. I mean, if his leadership overrode his terrible play, why didn't the 13-17 Angels keep him? Suppose we sign him, he expects to get on-field time, but we find out he sucks even worse than our remaining option and so he rides the pine. How will he respond to that? How did he respond to that with the Angels? How will the team respond if he starts getting surly about it? Just way to much potential negative for the potential of an intangible benefit.
I think leaders should emerge organically on a team. Trying to manufacture one by importing an outsider who most of the players don't know personally seems like a huge stretch.
We have three of them in the minor leagues.. no added cost..Would it take much to acquire a banjo hitting CF that can play an above average CF?

Lucroy would love to be an Indian now with his out of a job ass.
It’s always interesting when something like this happens. Guy is injured but they say he can play through it, but then it turns out he needs to miss a bunch of time. Did he re-injure it or was the initial diagnosis incorrect? Or did they originally think he could play through it and push the surgery to the off-season?Don't think we see Berto until late-June/early July
I wonder if our board empath can tell us how "I've got special powers, so I don't care what anyone else says--I think I'm right" makes other people feel
