The numbers below come from Tango's Fans scouting reports and Sean Smith's forecasts linked yesterday. For the Tango numbers, I'm pretty sure 50 represents an average defender. Arizona: Chris Young 69 (-1) Chris Snyder 64 Stephen Drew 62 (-9) Augie Ojeda 61 (-2) Justin Upton 53 (0) Mark Reynolds 41 (-8) Chad Tracy 39 (-2) Conor Jackson 34 (-1) There seems to be a considerable disconnect between what...

There are actually a decent number of catchers with “potential” or seen as “on the brink” of making it out there. After perusing the free agent market, I’m looking at potential trade targets and liking catcher Chris Snyder of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Snyder is a 27-year old right-handed catcher with 4+ years of Major League experience. [...]

His overall line is .264/.426/.569, an OPS of .995, which is also the best of any Arizona players with 30 or more at-bats [thereby excluding The Treadmill]. That represents...
