Update 5-27-2011
Koyie Hill has been filling in for Geovany Soto while Soto is on the 15 day Disabled List with a strained groin. Koyie has been hitting better since he is playing everyday. The Cubs brought up Welington Castillo from AAA to provide back up.
The Cubs chances of becoming World Champs in 2011 rests with the pitching staff. And with that the role of the Chicago Cubs catchers play an extremely important part. Although he is and you would think inexperienced, Geovany Soto is a leader and one of the best catchers in the league. He had a pretty good year with bat but its his relationship with the pitchers that sets him apart from the crowd.
But that does not mean that Koyie Hill is a second banana. He will prove his worth as the year goes on. And he will hit better than anyone expects.
