Basically only two catchers in the system have major-league potential as I see it now:<br /><br />John Jaso: He's at AAA. He has a good eye at the plate but is hitting only .220 or so, and defense has always been a question mark.<br /><br />Jake Jefferies: He's at low-A. He was the 3rd round pick in 2008, but he's only .247.Riven Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368603245432835073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235991369814171983.post-26028408330512494492009-06-07T01:26:20.065-04:002009-06-07T01:26:20.065-04:00After seeing tonight's TB vs. Yankees game, I ...After seeing tonight's TB vs. Yankees game, I think it's time to give Hernandez or Jaso another chance as starting catcher. What's happening to Navarro? Is he the reason there is talk of TB looking to draft a catcher? Would love to see a TB ranking of catchers-from majors through minors. Is there such a list?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235991369814171983.post-34374755456018141352009-06-06T22:23:33.451-04:002009-06-06T22:23:33.451-04:00Holmberg pitched for Port Charlotte High School, s...Holmberg pitched for Port Charlotte High School, so it would be a great thing to see the Rays take a home-town (spring training) kid.Nick Hansonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235991369814171983.post-15820989877457518862009-06-06T21:57:29.245-04:002009-06-06T21:57:29.245-04:00in the second or third, was Ben Tootle still avail...in the second or third, was Ben Tootle still available?He is a pretty good college arm in my opinion and if was not for a stomach virus probaly would have gotten picked higherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235991369814171983.post-87971683224957867862009-06-06T15:15:40.385-04:002009-06-06T15:15:40.385-04:00Hey Burgi, I know nothing past Mr. #1.
