    Straw had a slightly above average bat with Cleveland in his trade year but has been Maldonado since then -- and has been worse overall with Cleveland than Houston. His glove was golden last year though, so at least there's that.

    It’s crazy that Diaz has been matching the O’s rookie(?) catcher for production without the consistent playing time

    3 miscommunications in the OF, an error, and two bad jumps on hard hit liners has destroyed his defensive value this year.

    He was a good GM for the Astros. It was unfortunate he had conflict with Crane.

    That was Gunnar Henderson, not their catcher.

    Other than the whole jake Meyers ordeal, yes, the org took him for granted.

    Which means bigger credit to Diaz since catcher is the least offensive position

    I need a 3-homer game from Meyers so we can end people wanting to replace Meyers except when Yordan is playing LF.

    Why is Maldonado starting at catcher instead of Diaz?

    I was hoping one of Meyers or Julks would get traded so Dusty would be forced to play Chas more.
