Originally posted by Atlanta Braves Freak View PostFear the UNIBROW! But, I was a big fan of Blanco when he was a Brave. He's always been a good defensive catcher.To offset some of the pain of being a diehard Cubs fan, I've learned to also be a moderate Yankees fan.

As Cubs fans, it is our responsibility to take the lexicon of Chuck Norris jokes and rework them as Hank White jokes instead.Senior Editor/Featured Writer for Home Of The Chiefs

If memory serves correct, Blanco had a herniated disc between C2-3. With his constant crouch and head tilt as a catcher, it's going to be repeatedly tested each time he dons a mask. With Henry backing up Soto, Geo will get a world of insight after each inning he catches.What a Batted Ball is Worth (in terms of a run):
Line Drive: .356
HBP: .342
Non-Intentional Walk: .315
Intentional Walk: .176
Outfield Fly: .035
Groundball: -.101
Bunts: -.103
Infield Fly: -.243
Strikeout: -.287

Originally posted by Jeff Pico View PostHill is a good defensive catcher, but offensively helpless. That was a huge drain on our offense last year I care not to repeat. Hank isn't Pudge Rodriguez either, but he does give you the occasional jack.Senior Editor/Featured Writer for Home Of The Chiefs
