Episode 33: MLB San DIego Padres 2026 Review

Let's start with the catcher position.

Actually, five names had roster at-bats for San Diego.

Blake Hunt, Rodolfio, Duran.

None of those players have any interest in even the deepest of leagues.

Luis Camposano had very good value for the time that he spent on the field.

He had 215 at-bats, 12 doubles, 8 homers, 30 RBIs, 30 walks to 53Ks, 265 average, and a 796 OPS.

That is very good for the time he spent on the... healthy enough to play.

And, you know, you look back, he missed most of 2025.

He only had 25 or 21 at-bats.

In 2024, production similarly, he had 277 at-bats and actually had more runs.

He had 37, 40 RBIs, 20 walks to 41 Ks with a 227 average.

Look, I think the real issue here in a couple sections here, and we're going to talk about it as number one, I'm not sure he's going to get a full season of bats even if he is healthy.

But he has definitely deep league value.

When you're looking at 16 teams plus, he should be rostered in those league formats because he's going to have value in the time and the small amount of time that he's playing.

That is fantastic catcher position production for 215 at-bats.

And I would definitely want to have that guy on my roster if I was in those leagues.

Now, however...

The opposite side reigns true is that you're going to need someone else if you're in a single-only catcher league, that you're going to need a partner with him knowing that he's only going to bat maybe 300 at-bats in the season.

And they have two other catchers, Freddie Furman and Ethan Salas.

Salas we'll talk about more here in just a minute.

but Freddie Furman was kind of his running mate for most of the season.

He had 232 at bats and he had 14 doubles, four homers, 24 RBIs, 21 walks to 56 Ks, a 203 average and a 589 OPS.

Obviously the last little bit, none of that is very good at all.

You know, Furman's a pretty solid defensive catcher and therefore we'll get some at bats.

He had 127 and 25, but he batted 244.
