Pagnozzi can't do that yet, defense or no. His role is probably major league bullpen catcher. Which I hear bullpen guys are pretty funny so that may not be a bad career choice. Mike McCoy - His path to the majors is to stick at 2b defensively and draw a ton of walks. He doesn't have the power to play anywhere else on the field. He had a nice 2004 in Palm Beach but I'm not sold on him at all. I think at best he's a utility infielder. Potential 3, Likelihood C Dan -

I think McCoy could probably make the cut as a backup middle infielder type and young Paggs might make it as a backup catcher (I think I've heard his defense is solid, but he can't hit a lick).

Colby, eh, no suprise there really. Not to say I'm not pleased for him, that's great news. Just not shocking. Bryan's berth though, WOW! That goes a long way in confirming our optimism in him.
