Koyie Hill

[Butcher]

Has anyone looked at his ST numbers? He's having a ridiculous spring.

That is all.

[savant]

Anyone look at the Cubs winning percentage when he is the starting catcher.

That is all.

I am all for Hill winning the job. He might be able to handle the backup job for years. Plus, you can always find a Paul Bako type when you need him if Hill doesn't work out.

[rok]

I know that stats are meaningless, but we need to forget about Bako and give this guy a shot. The pitchers love him and he knows the staff well. Think of it this way, if Soto goes down for any extended amount of time, do you want Bako out there 5 days a week or Hill? If it's only once a week, it's a tossup between the two, but as insurance for an injury, I'll take Hill any day of the week. Plus, isn't he out of options?

[jeffy]

I was pessimistic about him after losing Blanco, but he is really proving himself so far this year. Let's hope he can keep it up.

Too lazy to look and I don't know where to look. Is it good?

Somebody who's following ST more closely should give us a fuller picture. Last time I looked, Bako was hitting about .055, so this is starting to look like a real possibility.

[Kid]

Doesn't Bako's contract basically say that if he's cut during spring training, he gets about a buck fifty?

Bako had one at bat today, singled. He's hitting .364.

I don't care if our backup catcher hits .050. I just want somebody that can handle the pitchers well and be solid defensively. Both Bako and Koyie are both fine there. Don't care who wins it.

That's like, um, worse than the Cubs overall record last year.

Following the link, it appears to be this springs record?

[Kid]

If my math is correct, the Cubs are 18-9 when Hill starts (17-8 in 2007, 1-1 in 2008). Most of those starts took place between the Barrett-Z fight and when we traded for Kendall.
