New Catcher?

I have to admit I was a huge Barrett fan, but I really like the new guy! Seems to be fitting in real well! He's doing a wonderful job behind the plate. And the pitchers seem to like him too. Can we all just get along now!? LOL The attitude is in the air, we're on a roll!

Rob Bowen is a much better defensive catcher than Barret was, defense comes before offense at this position. The relationship with pitchers is vital and I think Bowen can achieve this with a little time, unlike Barret who hit more people than baseballs. All in all, the trade worked out well for the Cubbies even though Bowen may not be the best catcher, he is still a very good fit for the team and I think he can be productive, especially since he is getting a chance to start with Blanco being injured and Koyie Hill being young.
