Kicking the Can, Part 2: Right Fielders

In my first installment of this series, I examined who might be sharing backstop duties with Yasmani Grandal in 2022. While Zack Collins might not be garnering rave reviews behind the dish, he’s at least proven serviceable enough in limited playing time to contribute positively in some fashion. While absolutely nothing sticks out about him in a good way (terrible batting average, mediocre OBP, mediocre SLG, average-ish OPS for the position, terrible framing, tolerable otherwise defensively), given the difficulties the White Sox had finding catchers in the post-Tyler Flowers era, even replacement level is appreciated, especially from a guy who plays in maybe a quarter of the games.
