Agree with your comment that you can be a little more aggressive with catchers with no MLB experience. Another great late pick is Kyle Teel, the BOS catcher. Red Sox need a C and he’ll be up by August. 2 months of offense from your C2 is worth it.

Especially in Draft Champions where you’re gonna take 3-4 Cs. If I can to July-Aug w/2 capable Cs then get a late-season surge from Teel, that’d be great

Mayer had a shoulder issue, and it hampered his AA completely and the tail end of his A+. Could mean that we’ve been deceived about his advancement progression speed.

Great callout, I hadn’t known that!
