Wow, I would have loved Eppler to have explored a trade with the Padres to get C Austin Allen.  

Profar sucks! 

 

 

Not sure id be too hyped over their third stringer myself but it does mean that more than likely any hope of prying Mejia or Hedges out of there just got much slimer.

Austin Allen’s 1.042 OPS ranked first among all double-A and triple-A catchers last season who amassed at least 250 plate appearances.

Great bat but he's not good, at all, defensively, which probably is an auto rule out by Eppler.

I read scouting reports. Allen is supposedly pretty rough behind the dish. FanGraphs has one if you look up Allen, there should be a link near the top for a 2018 or 2019 Padres prospect list Top 55 prospects or something like that.

We can use any catching help we can find but, let's not forget something....

Looks like Calhoun might have a landing spot. Ideal situation for him.
