The Furuta era seems like it was eons ago. Hopefully Aikawa's durability is on par with his batting average. No matter how well he hits, we don't need an Shinnosuke "Mr. Glass" Abe on the team. Our backup catchers are only slightly better at hitting the ball than our pitchers.

Hopefully Aikawa’s durability is on par with his batting average. No matter how well he hits, we don’t need an Shinnosuke “Mr. Glass” Abe on the team. Our backup catchers are only slightly better at hitting the ball than our pitchers.
