His words seemed to be mirrored by the rest of the team. Whenever someone joined the team, it was either coming down from the major league, or a call up from Double-A. Either way, they were generally prioritized for playing time.
If this was the case, then someone on the regular squad would miss out.
"I have no choice in the matter." Coach Dean said, shaking his head. He turned to Thomas, the catcher and sent him an apologetic look, "Thomas, you'll be moving to back up catcher from now on."
At this, Ken frowned. He had worked with Thomas the past 2 months and got along well with the guy. Not only this, he was quite savvy with leads and had a good right arm. He was a solid catcher.
If Ken and the other pitchers had to adjust to a new catcher in the post season, who knew if they would be able to click. If anything, it could have a negative effect on their performance.
