The shocker to me, if there is one, has been the progression of the system's catchers. Blair, Weems, Romanski and Bethea all have done extremely well after their promotions and we added 5 of 6 from the draft. Our youngest player is a catcher who is still 16. I'm still skeptical there is anything to any of those guys. Blair was a guy that intrigued me early in his career and Weems was a reasonably high pick, but I really don't see any of those guys as likely major leaguers. That doesn't take anything away from their production this year, which has been strong. But every year we see guys produce for sustained stretches that aren't able to translate that as they get close to the majors. I think that is what we have here. I'm hoping that Weems or Blair is a AAA shuttle guy or backup. That's what we/they really need at that level of the system.
