"I gave Tony an exercise, had him look up Jim Sundberg's numbers," Black said. "Look at Sundberg's numbers, then ask me if Tony Wolters is OK to catch today in San Diego on an overcast 62-degree day."
Sundberg played for the Rangers in a sauna known as Arlington Stadium. He caught 132 games at age 23, 155 at 24 and 140 at 25. This occurred during a career in which Sundberg won six Gold Glove Awards.
In other words, Wolters, who turns 25 on Friday, is OK.
Part of the issue is Ryan Hanigan is dealing with a left ankle injury that occurred Tuesday, the last time Wolters didn't start.
