Looks like we might not be getting another sweep!
Oh well, I can just blame vator if we lose, clearly it's his fault.

Our main priority for the draft is to get a good hitting catcher.

I thought Towles was going to be that guy!
Also I'm more concerned about pitching. Can't ever have too much pitching. Oswalt is getting older, Chacon is...well, Chacon. I don't trust Backe, and I certainly don't trust Sampson or Moehler or Wandy or Cassel or any of the other guys we've started this year.
They've done well for us, and they're serviceable(especially Oswalt obviously) but we need good, talented young pitching to build around more than a catcher who can hit IMO.
We need both though. So many years of the 1-2-3 blackhole at the bottom of the lineup. Of course now it's more just a 1-2 punch since Everett is gone but still...

Ya we need to address Starting pitching also, but We really need a good hitting Catcher just in case Towles falters.

All vator's fault.
