Right now it looks like there’s a battle in camp between Jett Bandy and Stephen Vogt. Manny Pina is a lock as the everyday catcher. The two backup options have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Bandy didn’t get a fair shake as he battled injuries last season. You can bet the Milwaukee Brewers want to see what the 27-year-old can do when fully healthy.
Why it should be Jett Bandy
Bandy is out of Minor League options, so sending him down will expose him to the waiver wire. With plenty teams needing a catcher, he’s sure to get picked up.
