Alderson went on to add that the organization is focused on the season at hand.
With the way the team has performed during this 2nd half, there doesn’t seem to be much to concentrate on. Thinking about 2013 now just makes sense.

The Shoppach pick up is a good move only if they re-sign him. Pairing him with Thole next year will be a benefit for Thole’s development as well as stabilizing the catching position. He won’t hit much but he calls a good game, controls the running game somewhat, and provides plenty of experience to a young team that needs someone to take charge on the field.

Shop can play defense as good as any backup and has some good power, but his playing time really needs to be limited. 40% k rate isn’t something one wants to see on the field day in and out, but you are right on that he can throw very well and for a pitcher who has lapses with controling runners? shop could be the right catcher to pair up with that guy on a routine basis.

Hopefully he will be better than Ronny Paulino.

I’d dance in the street in the buff if the PTBNL was Jason Bay, but in all fairness, I think it should be Chris Carter.
