Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 2567591, member: 2504"] At catcher, obviously, big things are expected from Zac Susi. The coaches hope that Thad Phillips will be a quality backup catcher who can keep Susi fresh through the season. They think Phillips can be an excellent catcher, with good power at the bat, and while he is not fast, the coaches like Phillips skill as a base runner. Third string catcher is Kenny Bergmann. It would seem doubtful that he will start too many games with both Susi and Phillips around. The coaches still like Bergmann's bat potential. Bergmann is also getting looks in the outfield, where he has perhaps the second best outfield arm on the club. [/QUOTE]
