I would like to make a comparison of those two this year,
J.P Arencibia 2013 (207AB) - .222 .244 .449 .693 K/BB 68/5
Yan Gomes 2013 (82AB) (MLB) - .293 .302 .610 .912 K/BB 15/2
Gomes is not the walk type of guy but wouldn't the pitchers be more aggressive against a rookie bench player?
I don't wanna look like a flatterer, but i've been watching the indians and they're all very impressed with this guy, he's been giving some clutch hits
i saw on Baseball Tonight Barry Larkin saying that although he was marked with a 1.83s between catch the pitch and throw to second baseman when Barry was coaching Brazil to WBC he saw some throws close to 1.70 mark, thing that only Pudge, Johnny Bench, guys like this would do it, again i'm not saying this guy is a top player and i'm not trying to be a suckass but i think we would have way better plate approachs and defensive plays with Gomes catching, not that this is a huge thing
He surely has a weird stance, but which failures do you see on his swing?
