I say Garcia goes wherever he can best succeed. He didn’t catch last year so hopefully he’s back at it this year.

I’m a huge fan of Oscar T. (had him in the 50-60 range among all prospects before the season), but even if he becomes a consistent .900 OPS guy in the majors, I think fellow teenager Anthony Garcia *might* have even *more* upside—provided he remains at catcher.

Specifically, if Garcia is eventually an average defensive backstop, and hits, say, .280/.360/.470 on a regular basis, there’s a TON of value there.

I have no idea whether Anthony is headed to Johnson City or Batavia, but I’m hoping it’s the latter, because based on his GCL performance last year he’s probably too good for rookieball pitchers already.

Last I heard, Taveras was going to be our 2-4 weeks depending on how it healed.

Taveras’ line is sick!

Has anyone heard what’s going on with him or how long he is expected to be out? Zach Cox is what he is put our position player with the highest ceiling is Taveras and if anyone wants to debate that…. let’s go! (M Adams is a close 2nd)
