2001 POSITION REPORT: Catchers
Theodore Barrett (6/6/7) had a pretty solid season last year (.261/14/71). 23-year-old 5-star prospect Walter McDonald (Good/Brl/Brl) appears to be the future. McDonald is now rated 3/5/8. He destroyed single-A pitching (1.112 OPS) and handled AA well also (.817). 28-year-old Antonio Aguiar (4/5/5) was a decent backup in his first year in the bigs, hitting .267 and playing decent defense. None of the other catchers in the organization appear worth mentioning.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Barrett is 33, and signed through 2002. I’m hoping he can give me one or two more good seasons until McDonald is ready to go.
QUESTION FOR THOSE READING: Should I start a new thread for each season?
