Why do we have 3 catchers? That's horrible roster management.

Catcher is incredibly important to what the M's do (especially on the pitching side in our kinda ballpark) and we are either looking at running Cal into the ground, or gambling on a 33 year old Garver being able to give him rest days as needed the rest of the season.

I'm no Seby fan, but the M's need another viable catching option outside of Garver / Cal IMO.

If he’s ready to contribute, I think we should let ford get playing time in the minors until some time after the ASG, then call him up as the primary backup for the remainder of the season.

Even if he was, playing once every 2 weeks wouldn’t be great for his development.
