Wilin Rosario C/1B - power hitter now available!

[raku1108]

Anyone thinks he could be a good fit?? After all, we do need a decent backup catcher that can hit (or simply hit better than Thole!!!). I don't think he will ask for more than $2M a year. I'm just not convinced sticking with Thole/Smoak/Colabello is most ideal.

Rosario isn't a catcher.

[raku1108]

as in not a capable catcher? He just got moved to 1B last year ... and now playing winterball as a catcher again.... and this guy can hit HR's!!! Would you rather have Thole over Rosario?

Eww

He will probably be looking for s starting catcher gig. And will be given +3m so too expensive for Jays blood. We gotta find a guy that can catch a knuckleball.

yes - like not a capable catcher.

 

It's like suggesting we sign Mike Napoli as our backup catcher...

[Sammy225]

Rosario is a man with no position.... And technically he could catch but he is absolutely horrible.

I'm Dominican, and I can say "He suxxxx"

Yes, the backup catcher first and foremost must be able to handle Dickey and knuckleball.

[AdamGreenwood]

I have infinitely more faith in Colabello's ability to hit than Rosario outside of Coors.

That coupled with Rosario's poor catching skills and inability to catch a knuckler, and he's totally redundant.

[Atothe]

Sign him up.

[JFD]

sub .300 OBP last season. no thanks.

[Terminator]

Rosario is garbage.

 

 

As uninspiring as it is, we probably should just bring Smoak back unless there is some sort of trade to work out.

[KingKat]

Bring him in as a DH candidate if he wants to take a MiLB deal but otherwise pass. Don't want to commit a roster spot to a project with no defensive value.

Not sure whether to call mods or call stupid?

A catcher who is horribly defensively who always plays first base, where we have at least 3 people capable of playing there. Pass.

[raku1108]

I wasn't suggesting the Jays gotta go after this guy... but he posted decent batting numbers last few seasons compared to Smoak/Thole.... and we can't say for sure Colabello will have a repeat of an impressive season.... also, as a backup catcher, you can't expect him to be near perfect right? how many costly errors had he made last season?

If you think he's trolling than message us. If you think he's stupid, then educate him. Me using you to get this point across is the only productive thing about your post.
