Mark Wagner
Sox minor league catcher Mark Wagner has been having a productive season in single A, opposed to his otherwise lackluster short debut in Lowell. He's been named a South Atlantic League All-Star this season. Not saying he'll keep it up to be our next catcher, but he's someone Im gonna keep my eye on.
Age: 22
Born: June 11, 1984
Hometown: Lakewood, CA
Height: 6-1
Weight: 205
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
Drafted: 9th round, 2005
How Acquired: Draft
College: UC-Irvine
High School: Mayfair HS (CA)
ETA: 2008
Quote:

Scouting Report: Sturdy catcher's frame. Excellent at throwing runners out. Good gap power and contact at the plate. Leader, good game caller. Improved significantly in 2005.

Re: Mark Wagner
Well tek won't be around forever, so hopefully this guy can become an offensive force and get the hell up to the MLB in a few years.

Re: Mark Wagner
Would not be suprised to see him moved up to Wilmington for the second half of the season.

Re: Mark Wagner
those numbers are very good for a catcher these days. If he still only has one error, I think he is legitimate just because of the rare defense+hitting package for a catcher.

Re: Mark Wagner
09 i do believe
Have you guys seen Huckaby's funky catching stance, the one where he basically sits on the ground. I heard someone say that another Red Sox catcher, um, the guy who caught Clemens, used to do it that way. He's not our future, just thought it was interesting
