I hope Bako's the same way.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

We haven't signed Bako and it's probably because Hendry wants to get something better if he can afford it. I actually think that's why Pudge would be good. Both he and Soto are Puerto Rican and I'm sure Soto has looked up to him.

Pudge wants to start, he'd be about the worst choice.

I have to agree. Pudge is a fat, washed up prick.

So is LoDuca and Bako has never been anything. We're talking about backup catchers. I'm not saying Pudge is awesome and would be great, I'm saying he's old and can't start.
