Vern Blower   Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players Hitting The book on Blower is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Blower always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. Baserunning & Defense He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate enough. Blower isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out. 2024 Outlook Blower flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly.           -- Moostard Nyman
