Henry Davis

Until they get here, you can't project anything.

Henry Davis did look like a number one overall pick coming up through the Pirates system.

You had every cause to believe that you had your everyday catcher for the next decade as Henry was coming up.

And then.

You know, more strikeouts than in his pitch.

He was just, I think the coolest part, I think he did a gender reveal with Henry Davis to catch up.

Yes.

I can't remember.

O'Neill Cruz, we're torn.

You're probably going to end up sticking with Pittsburgh.

If you have a good first half, they'll trade you for um whatever and then the only other one was sort of the catching situation it's been a little bit dire for the pirates recently i know they they traded joey bart but you got henry davis and i saw a little bit from rafael flores jr towards the end of the year to be like i don't hate it but any anyone you'd like there um

wow Now, I feel like what the MLB has kind of like done...

He offers so much versatility, and it kind of takes him off the board where you don't have to worry about this anymore.

What do you think the Pirates are going to do with guys like Majinsky, Andy Rodriguez, and Henry Davis?

Yeah, I mean, I think Majinski is the one that I think is more of consideration probably just because we're already loaded, you know, at the rotation side because obviously Paul Skeens is going to come back.

Jared Jones is going to come back.

I mean, that's part of the game.

That's what happens.

But I think that what you're running with with Henry Davis and Rafael Flores Jr. is actually pretty good.

I mean, if you look at the offensive numbers, you include Andy in that this year, they were very good as a catcher unit.

And he's had setbacks with a lot of his recoveries.

Meanwhile, you got Henry Davis and Rafael Flores in the picture, Easton Carmichael's moving quickly, and suddenly I think there's just a lot happening at catcher.

Now, let me be clear.

I'm not advocating cutting Endy.

He's capable of playing first base.

Do you need them to with the, Spencer Horowitz and O'Hearn and Rafael Flores here? I don't think you do.

Is he an upgrade over Henry Davis or Rafael Flores? Well, maybe,

but not defensively.

For anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's a manufactured draft round that comes after the first round.

So this team that made Henry Davis the number one overall pick is risking $23 million so that they could take somebody at, I don't know, 31, 32, 33.

Good Lord.

What a franchise.
