I’m probably going to start acting a little bitchy after I find out what the Rangers paid because I really did prefer Chirinos over Castro. 

[DMVol 2,569]

Castro is ok but he’ll need some help....I’m not real comfortable with Stassi...

We’re not getting anyone else so you will be uncomfortable the whole year. Lol

[hangin n wangin 3,483]

6.75 million. Yep. I’m a bit upset. Excuse me.

[mmc 1,389]

Surprised Chirinos got less than Castro.

Wish we had a decent prospect pushing for PT but we haven’t developed a C in forever....hell, since Mathis and Naps....and neither was/is an every day guy...

Also, it’s really $6.75m with a 5.5m option if they choose to exercise it.

I wish we had a lot of things. And wish we didn’t have some things (Pujols).

Without Pujols’ salary, we could have lots of shiny new things....

Definitely not a fan of this. But the dude has played exclusively in Texas so I assume he wanted to stay there.

Still, we're paying more money for a defensive first catcher. And it's not like Chirinos is bad defensively.

last year the two very nearly identical offensively.  
JC:  232/332/767
RC:  238/347/790
Albiet in less at bats but neither one of them is significantly better than the other with the bat overall.
If Castro is indeed the better defender, it would seem we got the better player overall since neither one is going to be all that with bat in hand.

I was more looking at the overall production but you do have a fair point.

Then he should have re-signed with the Angels.

He better get his curb stomp in practice, with how crazy the fans are there.
