Catchers in Miami Marlins Organization
It's been a month since I lasted posted a breakdown of all the catchers currently in the Miami Marlins organization. Chad Wallach's hot start hasn't slowed down much at all since that first post. Below is a look at all the catchers in front of him and where he stands. Rookie and Short Season A haven't started yet. No catchers have been promoted, demoted, traded, signed or released thus far.

Wallach's only issue is that some of the catchers ahead of him were relatively high draft picks. Realmuto was a 3rd rounder. Brantly was a 3rd rounder picked up in a trade. Skipworth was a 1st rounder.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've read the Marlins are very high on Realmuto and Austin Barnes. Barnes can also play 2B.
ReplyDeleteI think Skipworth may end up having to live with his 2.3 million signing bonus and not much of an MLB career, as it doesn't look like he is the next Joe Maur he was touted as at the time.
