new contract or no new contract, suzuki’s lack of progression this year (and yes, i am aware he got hurt) has got to be a concern on some level. everyone’s talked in the past about how he’s possibly the second best catcher in the american league, but honestly, too often and for very long streches this year, he’s looked . . . rather average at best. i wonder if his projected growth as an over all player will have to be reconsidered… he’ll be what, 28 next year? i’ve already mentioned my concerns with barton being counted as one of our building blocks so no need repeating myself.
