Catchers
Hector Colon S (27) .204/.301/.398 215 G 673 AB 33 HR 80 RBI 283 K 87 BB 2000 draft 6th round 149th overall. Hector is the perfect picture of why Austin is where it is. He signed a 1 year 286K contract before the 2008 season. He went out and hit .192/.289/.322 with 22 HR 50 RBI and 139 K's in 341 AB's. Then he somehow gets a 3 million dollar raise! He's good behind the plate, but not 3m dollars good. Add to all that he is lazy, and for some reason thinks he doesn't need to run all 90 feet between home and first on routine ground balls. I will be looking for any and every single way to deal “Hoover”. (3yrs 72 days 1 option arb eligible)
Craig Kelly L (26) His batting averages from every season, every level in which he had 200+ at-bats. .282/.200/.294/.198/.178/.148/.191/.173. 2009 waiver claim from San Antonio. Another guy who is a good defensive catcher, but nothing more. He “hits' left-handed and I say that lightly. He goes to the plate on the left handed side is more apt.
