Coming off an elbow injury.  Best "switch hitting" catcher means nothing when 3 of the first 30 catchers selected switch hit.

The mlb.com report has him injured, considered lazy, struggled with catching skills (including not catching as a HS senior), and referred to as having a bad body.  Why would Bowden give 376k as a signing bonus for that?
