From The OCR Angels Blog - Conger's throwing an issue for Scioscia

[Vegas Halo Fan]

40-50 with the Angels, no question.  Conger is 25 and you should probably find out what he can do with a decent amount of major league playing time.  I like his chances of doing better than the other backup candidates.

 

Beyond a certain point, additional time in the minors is of no value. The player is either developed enough to remain at the big league level or he isn't.

Conger is hitting .429 this Spring, which is much too high for a catcher.

Obviously needs some seasoning down in the minors.

I think he seems to have digressed since he was poised two years ago to be the regular catcher. I think Scioscia doesn't do a good job with catchers and is too much in Conger's head. He knows how Scioscia is and overthinks fundamentals trying not to make a mistake. Scioscia turns catchers into headcases. 

[CaliAngel]

Scioscia turns catchers every player he comes into contact with into headcases.

 

Fixed that for ya.

Three throwing errors for Conger today. Is that a mask trick?

The Royals radio guys are now going on and on about how Conger is gone as he isn't up to Scioscia's defensive standards, followed by discussing the Mathis vs Napoli situation.

That's because Physioc is the Royals radio guy.

Three throwing errors in one game will get the attention of any manager on any team.  It won't matter if he hits .700, if he can't control the running game he won't play regularly, at least not at catcher.

It's a Mathis Trick.

Looks like Conger is opening up the door for Hester to make the team and not hit or throw out base runners.

It's a Mathis Trick.

Just needs a throw to the wrong base and to make more easy outs at the plate for the Mathis Cycle.

I love Conger's defense!

Has Conger attempted to throw a runner attempting to steal second out at first yet?
