Estrada's a better hitter than Flores at this point. Less power, but a better hitter. I do understand your wanting Flores here, though. With this team, we know we're not going to win a WS, so why aren't young players like Flores getting the opportunity to play NOW and get the experience? I get it, but I also see why we went and got better veteran offensive catchers. They know the division and they've had success in the past.
I'm not as worried about that, though. The guys that are supposed to be the big producers haven't stepped up yet. We wouldn't even be talking about Flores if the rest of them were doing their jobs.
Sure, Lo Duca and Estrada have had success in the past but the past is the past. They are both over-the-hill hacks who are just milking their careers for all the money they can get. They bring absolutely nothing to the table. They both hit like Schneider but do nothing defensively. I'd rather have Schneider than these two has-beens any day.
