So, what material is on hand? Or, what will be left after the free agents and non-tenders leave? Catchers are Ryan Hanigan and Wilkin Castillo.

Sam Mellinger discusses a way to drastically shake up the Royals: trade both Zack Greinke and Joakim Soria for loads of young, cheap players. As he notes, the...

The season is all but over. It's time to play the young guys. Gotta see who can play, right? At catcher, Ryan Hanigan has had the best year of any backstop in the organization. His OPS at Louisville was just over 800. Nobody else was really much better than 700. Next best with 100 or more AB is Devon Mesoraco at 732 in Dayton. He's at least two years away. Dusty Baker seems committed to letting Paul...
