    Yes, that's why I said move Yainar to 1st if you can get a decent young catcher.

    You debunked they moved him from catcher to extend his career?

    How did you do that?

    We have a great young catcher. Why downgrade to decent?

    Diaz is staying behind the plate in 2025.

    Imagine if we put Diaz in CF mid career like we did Biggio. That simple visualization is enough to illustrate the difference. That being said having Biggio/Berkman center makes me sympathetic to Meyers/Chas believers.

    Jason Kendall is much more like Biggio. Diaz is built more like McCann it seems.

    Diaz needs to learn to be better at being a catcher.

    He could play there for another 15 years if he figures it out.

    You can’t even say what makes him a great “catcher”.
