Let's start with what should be the easiest position to figure out in 2012. That doesn't mean however that I do not feel some moves could be made. Here's what I think the Crew should do:
1) Stay with Jonathon Lucroy as your starting Catcher for 2012.
Lets Be honest here, he's cheap, young, good, can play defense, and is a great guy. There is no reason to fix what ain't broke, and hes a nice hitter in the 8th or 7th spot.
2) Hang George Kottaras out there as trade bait.
Some team is realistically going to want a nice lefty bat off the bench like Kottaras. So, see what you can get. Randy Wolf is the only concern here because he doesnt well work well with Lucroy, but at some point in time they have got to cooperate, and if you can get a nice bullpen arm for Kottaras, why not? Then go out in FA, and get a decent backup catcher.
Up next, the tough one: FIRST BASE.
Interesting Idea!!! What's next?
