2017 WS champs glad they found the missing piece.

Not that this would prevent them from signing Castro but it would seem to indicate they dont think its as likely. Honestly, im fine with Flowers and Recker/Tuffy. They got too many other holes to get into a bidding war over Castro

Who of the three can catch a knuckleballer? Not sure any of them can.
ernestofigueroa87
There’s always Doug Mirabelli!

Flowers said he would learn.

I’m sure thole will find his way to Atlanta
bravesguy
Funny thing is. He just elected to be a FA.

I’m not sure that you have any reason to claim that any of these three cannot catch a knuckleball.

Guy must really enjoy the game if he’s sticking it out on a $600 tab payout… I assume $600k is more accurate

Man for $600 he must be a baller of a player!
krillin
He may as well just retire now. He and his family can live off of that for the rest of their life! lol

Good teammate and a fan-favorite, he just never produced with the bat. With Beef Wellington, Chris Herrmann, and Peter O’Brien, if he regains his catching abilities, which is a big if, Tuffy was expandable and simply just taking up a roster spot.
jamesa-2
O’Brien is not a catcher. He shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near that position anymore. At this point, Oscar Hernandez would need to be next behind Chris Herrmann, who still needs to get healthy again and show he can last a full season. Right now the Diamondbacks are desperately thin at the catching position all the way down through to their A+ affiliate.
dbacksrs
O’Brien can still make adjustments to better himself behind the plate and hopefully be able to throw the ball back to the pitcher. He’s young and still coachable. Herrmann looks like a solid backup catcher and his bat looks even better. Beyond Hernandez though, you’re right. The system is thing on backstops.

Wonder if this Tuffy can hit 3 hrs in one game ??!

His name always got him plenty of positive attention in Arizona. It’s a great baseball name.

Well at least there’s one good thing about Anthony Recker: he has a totally beautiful butt. Completely no homo.

Dude has an fantastic heiny.
modernmitch
Agreed. Looks like a chick’s, in my opinion. Agree? Disagree?
Better ass than 99% of girls.
braves2
I wonder if this is a move to set up another trade
dbacksrs
Yeah, Tyler Flowers for Chris Sale.
NL_East_Rivalry
That might not be enough but it’s a good starting point. I’d make a suggestion but I don’t know the Sox’s minor leagues that wel
dbacksrs
Haha..
braves2
If only dave stewart were their gm
bkwalker510
Hey Atlanta– the A’s have an All-Star catcher for you (Vogt). He comes with an All-Star starter (Gray). You just need to give us Inciarte and Albies
steelerbravenation
I think the signing reflects a Castro signing will be inevitable. It is protection for AAA depth so when Castro signs and Recker gets taken off the 40 man then they have somebody at AAA in case Recker decides to pursue a major league opportunity somewhere else.

Trade with A’s\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\M.Smith,Jenkins,Ellis,Seymour and Whalen FOR Gray and Vogt.
