Imminent Call-Up - Gabriel Moreno; Moreno is a Double A Catcher who is batting .373 to start the year, and has tallied 45 RBI's with 8 Home-runs to date this year in only 126 At-Bats. He knows how to draw walks and has a decent strikeout to walk ratio. Moreno is also adept at throwing out base-runners evidenced by his career throw out rate at 35% which is higher than any catcher in the Blue Jays chain (44% CS this year). He makes very few errors and would compliment McGuire, and either Jansen or Kirk very well in the development of our young arms, throwing out runners, and batting .280+ (if and when he is called up to the big leagues). Similar to last year when the Jays brought up Alejandro Kirk from A Ball in Dunedin (and he had tremendous success at the big league level) the Jays could see huge dividends with Moreno. Our Triple A Starting Catcher is Riley Adams in Buffalo with the Bisons. Adams has clubbed 6 Home-runs this early into the season but is not as adapt at throwing out potential basestealers, as Moreno has a better arm and is more gifted defensively. The reality is that Adams gets first crack at playing with the Blue Jays and even that will be short-lived with the return of Alejandro Kirk (coming back on a rehab mission in Buffalo currently) Moreno is the Blue Jays catcher of the future and this could lead the Jays to deal Adams or Jansen for some more bullpen help or a top two starter to take us into the playoffs this year.
