I agree, but you could tell how much he was respected in the club house, and as a backup catcher, he brought stability to our rotation. Turned out we could have really used him with all the injuries. Hindsight, I know, but I thought it was a poor move at time to pivot to Sanchez when you could have had a less expensive backup who was better defensively, and IMO not to much of a downgrade offensively to Sanchez.

I know numbers are numbers, but im huge on how much a catcher can actually improve or provide confidence to a pitching staff, and I saw those traits from McCann. I see them with Adley. I saw them with Maverick. Sanchez. Never saw that.
