And there is no Heineman or Springer. Springer is supposed to be available off the bench and he’s supposed to be starting tomorrow. We’ll see I guess.
That ball off the foot looked really bad when it happened. Heineman….. I don’t know.
Valenzuela has looked ok offensively. He seems like a fine defensive catcher. If it were me choosing who to keep when Kirk comes back, I’d lean towards him.
