Jonathan Lucroy

I hate Trout, but there won't be any doubt in 10 years. He's the GOAT.

HATE is a very powerful word.

What possible reason would one have to HATE trout?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Good grief hyperbole

[CajunAmos]

He doesn't like fish, big or small. 😉

I recall reading an article how he wants to be a normal teammate/person and doesn’t necessarily want to be the face of the league...if he had a “me” mentality, with his stats and play, his name/coverage would equal the non-stop vomit on ESPN regarding Lebron

OK, that was pretty damned funny.

Did Lucroy ever think he would be a million-air when he was behind the plate at the Tigue?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Probably did. He knew he was good enough to get to the majors, and that, even then, was a ticket to millions.

General Manager Billy Eppler said from the start of the winter that they were looking for a catcher. They made an early inquiry into the Miami Marlins’ J.T. Realmuto, but the cost was too high for the Angels and he was traded to Philadelphia on Thursday. They also engaged with the top two free agent catchers, Yasmani Grandal and Wilson Ramos, but both eventually signed elsewhere. The Angels instead grabbed Jonathan Lucroy (free agent) on a one-year deal. Lucroy, 32, is a few years removed from being one of the game’s best catchers. Last season with the Oakland A’s, he hit .241 with a .617 OPS. Lucroy said he discovered some swing issues over the winter, and he has expressed confidence that he can correct them. He still helped nurture a young Oakland pitching staff into the playoffs in 2018. The Angels also picked up Kevan Smith (waivers) from the Chicago White Sox, and he and Briceño will battle for the backup job. Smith, who is out of options, appealed to the Angels because of his .348 on-base percentage last year. Arcia was designated for assignment and signed with the Chicago Cubs.
