Colorado Rockies morning after: It’s time to stop carrying three catchers

I originally posed this question back on June 22 and it is just as relevant now as it was back then. The more I think about it, it is even more relevant considering just how bad the Colorado Rockies catchers have played.

Before Wolters’ leadoff single in the top of the seventh of Thursday’s loss, Colorado’s catchers were a combined 0-for-16 in the last five games and 5 for their last 45. Before Thursday’s game, the three catchers combined slash line was a worthless .202/.288/.341 with four homers and 48 RBI.

Defensively, they haven’t been much better.
