Glad to see him back. What they should of done instead of being in Conger.

Why? Do you realized that Conger has been a better hitter over their careers? Also, for as bad as Conger has been over his 50 PA in MLB this year, JP has been just as bad over his 48 PA in AAA.

Greatest move ever!!!!!

Mendoza career average and ..250 career OBP is a savior to the Rays catching department. Shows how awful that team’s catching has been for years. Sure, he put up fluke numbers over 70AB last year, tho anyone thinks a career hacker will change should invest in Will Middlebrooks stock.

Last year was a fluke but you can’t tell that to the Rays “fans” who wouldn’t know a quality catcher until he bit them and went to another team. By July, they’ll be griping that Conger got DFA’d for JP.

We do know what a quality catcher is. We passed on him and chose to draft a SS instead. Because reasons.

Rays=bad, not so bad catchers. Off the top of my head. X-Rays catchers with other teams still playing…Vogt, Chirinos, Lobaton, Hannigan, Wilson, Gimenez ,Jaso?,Rivera,
Navarro. Really, kind of strange.

It seems every time they let go of a catcher they find their stride.

Lobaton and Hanigan were trade for other pieces and neither have done much. Jaso hasn’t been a catcher in years. Vogt had a nice year in 2015 but has been terrible this year. Wilson and Gimenez are constantly DFA’d and signed to minor league contracts by other teams with cups of coffee in the majors. Chrinios has been the only one to be a somewhat solid regular major league player
No Soup For Yu!
But even Chirinos is still injured a lot.
