Re: Who has the best EOG team?
Arencibia to have 60/40 split
J.P. Arencibia, C TOR
News: The
Toronto Sun reports that Blue Jays C
J.P. Arencibia is
likely to catch for three of the five starters, with
Jose Molina to serve as the personal catcher for
Kyle Drabek and
Brandon Morrow. ‘We don’t want to say that certain pitchers can’t pitch with other catchers behind the plate but I think you’re looking at two pitchers with similar stuff and to make sure that they don’t go away from their secondary stuff and become so reliant on their fastball and just become hard, hard, hard," said manager John Farrell. "Sometimes a power pitcher’s mentality can revert to that throwing mindset. That’s where some of that (having Molina) can be beneficial.”
Analysis: Arencibia only got 35 at-bats last year and will now be thrown into the fire as the No. 1 catcher in Toronto, but he's clearly going to get a lot of help and rest days thanks to Molina.
Arencibia is worth owning in some deeper mixed leagues as a No. 2 catcher.
