Kottaras Shooting for BoSox Spot

March 10th, 2009 | Author: Chad Gramling

Last season, former Wizards Catcher, George Kottaras made his Major League Debut (finally). This year, he’s in camp with a good chance of earning the backup gig and perhaps becoming the exclusive backstop of knuckleballer, Tim Wakefield.

When Kottaras gets his shot on Thursday, some will expect him to do well, especially since he has caught minor-league knuckleball pitcher Charlie Zink in the past. Working with Wakefield, however, is a totally different experience.

On the Spring, Kottaras has a .286 average in seven at-bats with one home run and two RBI. If he can maintain some level of offensive production and prove he can be the most effective catcher for Wakefield, he might edge out the frontrunner, Josh Bard.
