Chum Bucket

And I thought yesterday's Chum Bucket post had to be quick, little did I know.

Oh, in case you didn't catch it yesterday, Gamefish had a post to honor the birthday of Alfredo. Check it out.

It is the usual Chum Bucket, so do what you do.

I said it would be quick. Have a Great Day!

A better signing

The Marlins avoided arbitration with Matt Treanor and signed him to a one year deal today. The deal is for 1 year, $705,000. I wish that Matt would be the starting catcher but the front office seams convinced that Rabelo is better. Ugh.

I know you guys are in love with Treanor, but is he really worth $700k? Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with catchers, but I've never been a fan.

I agree

Matty showed a lot of promise last year and I like everything he brings to the club.

Decent production for a catcher, good rapport with pitchers, always hustles and plays hard.

I really don't like a timeshare with catchers. I think maybe you have one guy in particular that works well with a certain pitcher, so you spot start, but generally I like having a starter and a backup that will play maybe 1-2 games a week.

I think, given the opportunity to compete, Matty has a real good chance of winning the starting job.
