Newman: Tony Wolters should be the Rockies’ everyday catcher — he has surprised us all

0

The Rockies counted on many problems to solve themselves during a quiet offseason — lineup depth, bullpen stability and the back end of the rotation — but none has been answered as well as the question mark surrounding the catching position.

Tony Wolters appears he is indeed the man for the job. Unable to hit his weight last season (.170) in a backup role to Chris Iannetta, Wolters has emerged as one of the best catchers in the National League through the first two months.

To which I say, even more playing time for Wolters and his ‘stache.
