The Mariners have replaced Steve Clevenger with one of the most talented catchers they've ever had. He was also one of the worst players I have ever seen last year.
In a perfect world perhaps Mike Zunino would have made his big league debut this year on Opening Day. He would have been given the time to develop his offense, and his prodigious power would have been complimented with hard won lessons in plate coverage and pitch recognition over thousands of minor league at bats. He would be a hyped prospect, a former number three overall draft pick, and the future of the catcher position in Seattle.
