Lucroy is a solid starter on better than half the league. You can't make an argument that he is top five but after another season of improvement he's a sure top 10 catcher. Lucroy has played one and a half full seasons and has put up pretty good stats. Pretty tough to say he wouldn't be on any other teams roster.

He's not good enough to catch for Wolf.

I am going to call him Tony Catch the ball

He's hitting .469 this spring. I guarantee he wins the batting title. That is of course unless Morgan hits .500 this year.

I like Tony Catches the Ball. It's a good idea to buy out his arby years

Are we abandoning "Mound Visit"?

They're predicting the dollars are on the low end of $7-10 mil, and he has room to improve a lot yet.

Remember this article on Lucroy being really good at framing pitches? http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=15093

I missed the stat they came up with before: those borderline pitches he's been able to get called strikes on would measure up to saving 24 runs over 120 games. That's pretty awesome.

Tony Mound Visit, maybe.

sigh I guess the George Kottaras era will have to wait a little longer to start

Tony Mound Visit it is.

Rivera is Tony Clutch

give the dollar back that the Braves paid for Wil Nieves, and there's our catcher of the future

Kottaras is the reining pretty boy on the team isn't he?

MIKE is in the minors.

Kottaras is Tony Dreamy

missed a g

here it is

I like the idea of giving Lucroy an extension. It's reportedly a 4 or 5 year deal.
