I don't think catchers technically have a UZR...they basically stay in one zone and so they are evaluated by DRS.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

not 100% sure but that makes the most sense.

Hope the reds paid us to take him if not :obama:

It probably cost all of $50K or less to get Koyie. Which means 1- no prospects changed hands and 2- it was a drop in the bucket. They apparently need a warm body who has actually squatted in the catcher's box in MLB games before.

As long as he doesn't stay once Castillo is healthy, I'm fine w/ this move. It's not like they had anyone else to catch besides Lalli

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
Can Chicago Cub baseball hit any lower depths?

Release a guy.....then have to go out and reacquire him from another team.

Pathetic and embarrassing.

Of all the things to blame the Cubs for this year expecting them to have 5 major league ready catchers is a bit much.
