Love this pick up. Avila will get hurt, like he always does, and he will be a good back up

Holaday is garbage. What’s the point of this signing? Nobody wanted him as a backup catcher, and for good reason. Terrible receiver, terrible hitter. Would rather give Hicks a shot at a backup job if an injury occurs.

Minor. League. Contract. Relax.

Holaday is worthy. He looked solid in Phillies camp but lost out to a cheaper, in-house option already on the 40-man (Knapp). Had they kept him in AAA he would have been riding pine while Alfaro ripens on his developmental path. As soxfan stated this is a minor league move.

I’m aware this is a minor league deal, but thanks for pointing it out. The point is if there’s an injury- and there probably will be- they’re likely to call up Holaday, not Hicks. We’ve already seen what Holaday has to offer (which is nothing), so what’s the point of this move? Hicks had a pretty good season last year. Why not give him a shot?

Why are you assuming they won’t?
