Catch as Catch Can...

Im OK with Vazquez. He did not dispute Cora's comments that last year (paraphrasing) "either the contract went to his head, or he was trying to prove he deserved it or whatever, but he got away from doing the stuff we signed him for." He's acknowledged it as much this spring and seems at least to be saying all the right things.

Damn I must have missed this. Cora does not mince words, it’s really impressive.

It’s done in a calculated way, like a disappointed father - not in a mean spirited way to embarrass the player. Maybe that’s my bias.

FWIW - Tonight on MLB Network, Joe Girardi picked Blake Swihart as a breakout prediction for 2019.

Girardi is a former catcher, did he mention anything specific to defense?
