[emkayseven]

The Next John Buck.

[Fritz]

Like him better than Skipworth?

[emkayseven]

Much. I am a HUGH fan of him

[Erick]

The Next John Buck.

I don't get it.

[HUGG]

He's the next Marlins starting C.

[Bobbob1313]

Is Mark Kotsay being serious?

[emkayseven]

what Hugg said

[Bobbob1313]

That doesn't really answer it.

What do you like about him?

[emkayseven]

I like his defense and the fact that he is close to being ready

I also like that he is not Kyle Skipworth

[Bobbob1313]

What do you like about his defense?

(not doing a thing)

[emkayseven]

By all indications he has a very strong arm which is something I think we've been lacking behind the plate for a while. And from what I've read, his footwork etc. needs a little bit of work but he is expected to be an above average defensive catcher and that makes me happy.

Also, he's a lefty hitter and I am naturally biased toward lefties.

[HUGG]

Kyle Skipworth hits left handed

[emkayseven]

I know that. But I don't like him because his name is Kyle Skipworth and that isn't a baseball name.
--------------------
see, the main reason for my dislike of Skipworth has been lost since T+B's demise and it's a damn shame

[HUGG]

This kid here spells his last name wrong.

[Chewford]

He wanted to distance himself from that shitty QB who accomplished nothing in Gainesville.
