but ah crap, detroit is a spendin’! oh well, i now officially predict v-mart is on the decline. i looked up his stats, but he’s been pretty consistent as well as productive except for the year he was hurt…and the numbers are quite good for a catcher, present company’s catcher excluded.

does anyone know how well he handles pitchers? from what i can tell he’s nothing spectacular behind the plate and it appears he’s simply a bad-fielding first base so he probably won’t spell miggy too often.

between benoit (who is better than any closer they could have (hypothetically) signed) and v-mart, and everyone else in their lineup, they will be a royal pain in the ass. no doubt.
