The Wire Troll: Mike Zunino’s Em City Adventure

/ Baseball, The Wire Troll, Tim McLeod

After months of speculation, Zunino has arrived in Seattle. In 185 at-bats at Triple-A Tacoma he hit 11 bombs with 43 RBI which, on the surface, looks great but with a BB/K ratio of 14/59, we recommend you be cautious with your expectations. Zunino has the potential to be a very good backstop (and he sure looked good in lining his first big league hit — see below), but he could also struggle offensively early on as we’ve seen with so many young catchers as they try to adjust to the demands of handling a big league staff.

The Wire Troll: Francisco Rodriguez Earning Saves Again

/ Baseball, The Wire Troll, Tim McLeod

Castro’s two-homer outing Saturday against the A’s gives him a half dozen jacks for the season to go along with 15 RBI and a serviceable .265 BA. We’re finally seeing him enjoy some health and given that he’s principle catcher in Houston he should be owned in all two-catcher leagues — if for no other reason than his power potential.
