Especially considering we drafted both Bart and Posey in the top 5, and Posey was already ready to start, be the team captain, and lead the team to a World Series victory 2 years after the draft. Here we are coming up on 4 years after Bart's draft and we have no clue if he can even play in the big leagues in any capacity yet.

Obviously Posey was a special, once in a franchise history type player, so you cant expect Bart to live up to that. But at this point I'd be happy if he was just turned out to be a solid starting catcher.

My understanding on Bart he's got MLB hit skills just needs to develop behind the plate which takes time. A lot of clubs are putting out there catchers who struggle to hit it's almost like having two pitcher spots in the lineup something we are trying to avoid post-Posey.

What a magical year that was

How is he watching the field from the bottom of the dugout tunnel?

I'd like to see us add Taylor. I recall hearing them being interested in Keke last year. Seems to be Farhan likes the versatility kind of players.

Either way he's a nice vet bat to add. Plus he can play multiple positions and play them well.

Taylor got the QO, so we'd have to give up a draft pick too.

28 of 30 1st place votes. So two voters didn't think he was the deserving manager. Either haters, or they paid no attention to west coast teams.

Mitch Stacy from the Cincinnati AP didn't vote for Kapler at all.

Nick Groke from The Athletic Colorado had Kapler 2nd behind Counsell. The rest voted Kapler 1st.
