A poll recently concluded on this site asking fans if they think Omir Santos should be the starting catcher in 2010.
For a refresher, here are the results…
In today’s NY Post, Mike Puma writes that as of now, the Mets have penciled in Santos as the team’s No. 1 catcher for next season.
Manager Jerry Manuel said the "jury will still have to be out" when he was asked if he will be comfortable heading into next season with one of his current catchers as the starter.
"It's a very important position, so we have to kind of wait and see what would fit best, not only from a defensive point of view, but an offensive point of view as well," Manuel said.
The market for catchers is quite small, Puma points out. Notable names: Bengie Molina, Yorvit Torrealba (remember that mess?) and Ramon Hernandez.
I’m already getting agida thinking about this position next year. Santos and Robinson Cancel? Oy.
