I said it before, but I'm thinking Pineda especially but also Ruiz should be helped a lot by robo umps.  Ruiz's arm is very good and he's also pretty intelligent when to use it on 1st base pickoffs.  I think his weakness is framing, which robo umps would make a non-issue. 

Ruiz is probably the closest thing to an overall strength among the position players. Catcher's  one of the few spots projected to be > 2 WAR that manned primarily by guys we control for 3+  more years who are under 30.
