Congers hitting approach is great. He would be an elite catcher if his defensive tool was at Castros level.
I withdraw all of my early season Conger criticism. I was wrong and apologize to Hank and Jeff and co. Nick was right. All of that complaining about a backup catcher was indeed bizarre.
I was impressed by the homer by Conger, but i was more impressed by him taking on that 1 and 0 pitch, that change up was a PERFECT pitch to get an easy out, and he took it.
