Nieves is a fine back-up catcher. yet you think he should be starting every day, instead of being a back-up catcher.
yeah, cause Nieves blazes the basepaths.
Bard doesn't need to be a great hitter. He's a better hitter than Nieves. and while Nieves is better defensively, Bard isn't as "terrible" as you say he is.
Bard is 6'3" 215. what a Dmitri Young-esque fat-ass. Nieves is 5'11" 190, just for the record.
I sense much hate in you.
the fact is, neither Bard, or Nieves is a starter-catcher quality player. But our starting Catcher is injured, so we gotta make do with what we have.
neither is a starter-caliber player but Nieves is the better of the two.
the fact is that Jesus Flores is the most important player to the success of the Nationals. him going down with that freak injury ruined this season.
