Sucre as our RH RBI bat!
Or Montero behind the plate.
Something like that. We would all wake up in the cold sweats! BTW, Napoli spent 4 years in A ball. Didn't know that. A slow slog up for him. K'ed in 1/3 of his Cal League AB's, too (but did have a .5 Eye).
In the end, Zunino was 1 single way from OPS'ing 90 in his first full season, and doing so with great pitch framing skills, great pitcher-handling skills and a nice arm. OK, he has work to do, but which 23 year old not named Trout doesn't?
I will offer this: Would you rather have to replace Zunino or Morrison-Saunders-Ackley-Jackson....take your pick. All of those guys are pretty easily replaceable. Not so, the kid behind the plate.
