Matt Wieters Update

Ok, I know this topic shouldn't be dragged out again but I promise not to harp on the past (too much).

Anyway, Matt Wieters is hitting only .244 with 3 Hrs in over 120 ABs. IMHO this is not too great. I think we expected much more. He is only 23.

I watched him last night during the Yankees game. They stole 3 bases on 4 tries. The announcers kept saying "The Yankees will see if Wieters can throw anyone out." Finally he threw A-Rod out with a nice throw. Wieters also seemed to do a nice job behind the plate. However, McCarver wasn't the announcer so I didn't get his "expert" opinion.

He faced Mario Rivera for the first time. He looked totally overwhelmed and confused.

Why mention the above? Well, just because. Let's see how he does over the next few seasons. Will he turn out to be the stud they predict or a dud? We shall see!
