Terrible article. The catching duo are highly rated. Veritek likes them, and with McGuire as backup hitting .291 I don’t get your dislike of him as a player. Wong is very good, no doubt. And he has some pop, no doubt. The steals at the beginning of the year were on the pitchers and McGuire suffered in his caught stealing percentage. Before the rule change he was highly rated. As far as speed, yes Wong is faster. Once on first McGuire is a smart base runner. Wong has made some base running mistakes. So perhaps you were looking to write an article to get fans against McGuire. Me, I am looking at a good team player and someone who plays with some passion.
I have nothing against McGuire and don't care/have power to turn fans against him. I'm pointing out his play has regressed this year on both offense and defense, Wong has clearly surpassed him as the team's primary catcher and there isn't much depth in the system at the position.
