The Pirates dealt their other upper-minors catcher (whose name escapes me just now) to Toronto in the Liriano trade. Stallings, I think, is basically a "Four-A" type, but he'll do as depth for the time being. I assume Diaz is considered the catcher of the future.

As for Stew, there's no one behind him other than Diaz and Stallings in the system (maybe Jin-de Jhang?). I'd expect the FO wants some more work for Diaz after being injured for so much of last year, so Stew's the bridge once again, with no-glove Eric Fryer the emergency roster man.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-41611474831387604362016-12-02T11:57:23.432-05:002016-12-02T11:57:23.432-05:004 errors in 9 total chances? Wow. That's got...4 errors in 9 total chances? Wow. That's got to be the worst case of the "yips" since at least Chuck Knoblach if not ever. Not even "Doctor Strangeglove" was that bad. Pedro did have a strong arm and he was capable of making excellent defensive plays at third, but there's obviously something going on between his ears. I wonder if the O's will re-sign him. <br /><br /><br />Stewart did a really nice job as our number two catcher but between his bum knee on one side, and the catching prospects the Pirates have in the minors on the other, I didn't understand why the front office offered him the second two-year deal. <br /><br /><br />WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
