Back up for the white sox? Seems like a good fit
jwsox
More like starter. In all reality. I hope the whitesox make a move for him. And let him, flowers (who was supposedly hurt all year last year), the rule 5 kid(who I honestly think will break camp) and phigley. All compete for the 2 spots

A platoon Phegley/Lobaton would be nice.
Christophe Lachance-Tardif
Yeah, it wouldn’t suprise me if he ended up having more playing time than Phegley and Flowers if he would be traded to Chicago.
Jeff Weissbuch
I would give him every chance to start over Flowers

White Sox trade for Lobaton, Nats get Nieto back. Win-win!

Lobaton was only 14% (63-10) at throwing out runners. Wow. JMolina was at 29%.
MB923
That would be 630% 🙂

FACTS:
Jose Lobaton once thew out Mike Trout before he got to bat!
Jose Lobaton once told Ellsbury he would throw him out if he got on base, Jacoby agreed then struck out looking to save time!

Thanks, Ben.

The most memorable part of the Rays season last year for me had to be all the clutch/game winning hits Lobaton had. Hopefully we can get something decent for him, he’s got a good bat and is controllable, regardless of his defense that has value.

Why whould the mets need lobaton they already have Recker as a pretty solid backup
AceRuby
Insurance incase Recker doesn’t pan out as a backup maybe?

Another catcher that can’t catch or throw.

Jose Lobaton is by no means a starting catcher in the major leagues, but considering the overall lack of talented catchers, he should make for a decent back-up. He would most likely be an upgrade over many back-ups around the league, at least offensively.

White Sox don’t need another dud behind the plate…thanks!
Ted 2
Amen. This is a lost season. I’d rather see Nieto get a spot. And see if Flowers can find some consistency at the plate. Flowers seems to be pretty solid defensively and handling the pitchers making a sub-.700 OPS with 15 HR tolerable.
