Read: Josh Thole is Darrin Fletcher
In a must-read report for the Daily News, Adam Rubin writes a profile of 22–year-old C Josh Thole, who has 
been added to the Mets roster and will join them in Colorado tonight.
According to Rubin, “An NL scout who recently watched Thole came away impressed with his balance and patience as a hitter… The scout projected Thole eventually as the lefty-hitting part of a platoon at catcher, or as a backup in the majors, and compared him with former major-leaguers Darrin Fletcher and Scott Bradley.”
In his report, Rubin talks with Thome, and writes about the team’s options at catcher going in to next season.
… the Mets could benefit from having a fletcher, Ramon Hernandez, Michael Barrett type, in house, for the next six seasons…
…frankly, short of Mike Piazza, it seems like catcher is always an afterthought for this organization… i feel like it’s a position they’re always scrambling to fill, though, for all i know, this may be the case for most teams…
