The cather's market is the weakest it has ever been and signing yorvit is a great move by minaya. Unless ur ready to give up a bluechip prospect for a catcher on the trade market dont complain about this move! enough about all this talk about bringin loduca back! the guy is 35 and his production is goin to decline, this team needs a change and torrealba as the starter called the shots behind the plate to a medicore pitching staff that made it to the world series. torrealba is 29 and can put up the same numbers that loduca can without all the baggage loduca brings.

Who would you like to see here Bosco? Would you like aging warhorse LoDuca back behind the plate? Been there, done that, didn't care for it much the first time he'll certainly be worse the second time around. Do you want to see the whole future mortgaged for a turd like Miguel Cabrera? How about submarining the payroll with a guy who has no position on the team like Arod? No, but you shouldn’t make a big splash just for the sake of making a big splash.

Who would you like to see here Bosco?

He's older, a below avg hitter (that .300 avg is misleading), and not nearly as good behind the plate. Now in which aspect is he better? Fire? Tenacity? Eggplant Parm?

However, I believe we may see a lot of head scratching moves this year and my thoughts are they may be weeding out club house problems that weren't made public. Who knows, its just my two cents. Another thing could be that they only view Lo Duca as a 1 year fix, and this guy Torreaba as a long term fix. Either way, I'd miss watching Lo Duca on this team. First off, i hate this move.

That is hogwash- their offense crumbled and withered down the stretch. They need both offense and pitching- and since there is no pitching to get, I would sign ARod. But Freddie Coupons would never even dangle his toes in the water on that...He probably won't even do so much as extend a half ass, lowball offer like he did with Guerrero. Wow what a splash with Torrealba. Fire this garbage GM. This is arguably worse than giving a 2 year deal to Mota.
