Matt Wieters is gone, and he’s probably not coming back. The Orioles now have to replace the four-time all star and two-time gold glove catcher. Unfortunately, the free agent market is barren, and the Bird’s top prospect at the position may still be a year away defensively. Hey, Caleb Joseph, you up for this?
The 2016 season was rough on Joseph. He missed about a month of time with an injury to his testicles. And in the 49 games he did play, the stats were depressing: 132 at-bats, 23 hits, three doubles and not a single, solitary RBI.
