I think he was kind of the backup catcher out of convenience more than skill, and took advantage of his opportunities.<br /><br />Brown is fine as AAA depth, and as far as his hitting skill... he at least gets along with the pitchers. But if the plan is for Buster to split time at first, I don't think he makes the team.<br /><br />Go with Hundley or a similar type for the next couple years, as Garcia makes his way up. enwrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331349619433195874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-16758733296320173432017-10-04T11:22:08.996-07:002017-10-04T11:22:08.996-07:00Any word on why Brown struggled offensively?

He was serviceable at the ML level as a back-up and the fact he could play infield was intriguing from a roster standpoint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-7531349823567071552017-10-04T10:46:09.887-07:002017-10-04T10:46:09.887-07:00Found this.

Thought it was interesting: <br /><br />"For the second year in a row, Panik had the lowest strikeout rate in the major leagues, going to three strikes in just 9.42 percent of his plate appearances. This year, he struck out only 54 times in 573 trips to the plate. He was the only qualified player in the major leagues this season to strike out in less than 10 percent of his plate appearance"MosesZDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702323080585738748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-52496677634107649412017-10-04T04:21:11.861-07:002017-10-04T04:21:11.861-07:00Miguel Gomez: "Gomez doesn't contribute...Miguel Gomez: "Gomez doesn't contribute a whole lot outside the batter's box, however. He has enough arm strength to play a variety of positions, but his lack of speed and quickness makes him best suited for the infield corners or catcher. He has been erratic at the hot corner and offers the most intrigue as a catcher, where he threw out 45 percent of basestealers in the lower Minors."<br /><br />He's 24 and probably needs a couple of years should they convert him to catcher full time. But he hit .305 at Richmond, which is no easy feat.MosesZDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702323080585738748noreply@blogger.com
