I would rather have Hill at this point as well. However I am not going to pretend this move is going to keep us from getting to the playoffs either. I don't think what we are paying Bako is going to hold us up on any other moves that may help us. Therefore I couldn't care less on what he is making. Like Clapp said he is a pretty decent defensive catcher... calls a good game and brings veteran experience behind the plate vs someone like Hill. That could come up big a few times during the season and also in helping Soto.
