I'm not going to do a big baseball-reference dive or anything, but I'm gonna guess that Reed Johnson's worst year was probably better than Jordan Schafer's best year. When you throw in the option of putting Gattis in LF, there's no reason Schafer should see the field other than as a situational replacement late in games. Other than one PED-fueled season in A ball, Schafer has been terrible for every bit of his pro career.

Lol I'm not a Schafer fan Verc. But I like his speed and his glove. He isn't that horrible. But I agree with you about 77%.
 
I like Wood. (The pitcher that is) he would've been a round one guy if it weren't for that herky jerky action he has got going on.

Yep. He would have been a round one guy if it weren't for Tommy John, and maybe those are related.

I wonder where he got drafted out of high school or if he told teams he was for sure going to college. Pretty sure he won POTY in NC his senior year.

That's a good question. I haven't heard, I wonder if they've made any adjustments to his mechanics?

His speed and glove make him a semi-useful 25th man to have sitting on the end of your bench. But he can't hit at all. The only time he should get four at-bats in a game is two or three times in a season in the second game of a doubleheader when there hasn't been an off-day in two weeks. He's worse than Jose Constanza.
 
he is, the walk rate just gives me a sad. i mean, if he is a top defensive catcher in the league, he doesn't need offense... but it sure would be nice.

Yeah his approach at the plate is horrid. In 1482 at bats he has walked a grand total of 65 times :/
 
I don't watch YouTube videos, try again. And if its the highlight if Chris Paul's shot, I saw it happen. Didn't need to catch sportcenter while my wife was out working.
