what everyone else saw Wednesday and Friday nights. Zunino looks like he's been catching at the MLB level for years. He just settled down and took ownership of the position. His talent, obvious. His confidence defensively, doubtless. The catching position? Check THAT one off, it's taken care of, even if it might take some more AAA time to get the hitting squared away, though I don't think that will be necessary.
Franklin, ditto for second base. Of course I remind myself how I felt about Ackley after about six weeks of his first season, so nothing's set in stone.
But Zunino behind the plate? We all saw it. Just like a young Johnny Bench or Gary Carter.
