Marjama was the better offensive catcher in Peoria. In 40 at-bats he slashed .300/.391/.550/.941. He hit 2 HR, walked five times, scored seven runs and had six RBI. Compare that to Freitas’ line of .238/.273/.238/.511, .313 BABIP, 0 HR, 0BB, 5 SO, 1 R and 1 RBI in 21 AB and there is no doubt Marjama earned his way onto the Opening Day Roster.
Over the last three weeks, however, on the big stage in games that have mattered, the production has completely flipped. Both catchers have seen similar playing time. Marjama has logged 27 at-bats in 10 games played while Freitas has logged 28 at-bats in his 11 games played.
