That's really dumb. Well they also have a catcher on the team now who was an All-Star...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Yan Gomes nor Roberto Perez should be blocking the best catching prospect of the better part of a decade. That's like trading Carlos Correa because you have Marcus Semien.

That's really dumb. I agree completely. At worst, he should be the backup C & been part of the DH rotation...But Roberto Perez is a Tito Favorite and he alone is to blame.

Don't see that changing anytime soon now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was with the Indians, I dont think his future was ever behind the plate. They wanted him to move to the outfield and he wanted no part of it.

And that is why he is there. There has been an emphasis on the importance of defense and game management behind that plate. It is probably the main reason Mejia didnt play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play that guy. End of conversation. That was my point. Gomes was an "All Star" because of his defense and a decent bat this year. At 31, that defense could start to go (if it hasn't already) as early as next season. Mejia's skillset and timeline was the perfect transition for the position. The next few years is pretty bleak at the position now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Cimber is a really solid reliever too, so let's not just categorize him as a throw-in. And he's under control for 5 years after this one, so there's a good bit of value there. But even with that said, it's painful to deal a prospect of Mejia's caliber for relievers that aren't in that tippy-top tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
