Yeah, possible Schwarber is primary catcher in 2016. But, he is so raw at catcher mechanically. And, I worry that kind of responsibility this early is going to affect his offense. Guess we'll learn some about that when Montero returns this week. Also might be difficult to trade Montero at his 2016/17 salaries.

Schwarber seems super-enthusiastic about handling pitching staff. Not sure how much, if any, pitch-calling he's doing but Rondon seemed annoyed today with what Schwarber was wig-wagging out there for him to throw. Also possible that Schwarver will be brutal in LF and that catcher is best position defensively. Think we'll get some clues about that going forward this season.
