I can't believe y'all are seriously considering letting Martin catch Dickey.
Granted, Arencibia is nothing compared to Martin, but this is a knuckleball we're talking about. When was the last time Martin caught a knuckler? Probably never.
He'll only have 2 months to work on a knuckler. That's also with learning the entire pitching staff and other responsibilities.
I do not have confidence that Martin will be able to catch the knuckler effectively. You need more time to learn it.
And you guys want to dump Thole? RA's personal catcher for the last 3-4 seasons?
Then we'd watch the Yankees scoop up Thole and then ask for Aaron Sanchez when we suddenly realize we could use him when Martin fails.
I don't care about the deadweight of Thole on this roster. It's a sunk cost.
Y'all pretend that getting rid of Thole will not have an impact on Dickey. It will, and it will be disastrous.
