During the off-season, there was a lot of discussion centering around the need for the Sox to trade for a young catcher. No need to rehash that, but some pointed towards Exposito as being that long term answer. The Red Sox have seemed to take care of things in the near term with the aquisition of Victor Martinez, but with Exposito 22 years of age and having just made his way to AA in August that isn't very surprising given the development track of catchers in general.

After somewhat of a sluggish start and ok overall performance at Salem, Exposito has made a nice initial transition to the AA level. The calls for SSS are always warranted, but as a player with development needs centering around his approach to begin the season and what we have seen from other players with the same tag upon transitioning to AA, it is a nice sign and encouraging to see. Out of the catchers within the system, Exposito is considered around baseball as being the one who projects the most as an everyday regular down the line and to have the best overall package of offense/defense.

What is the view? Where do people see Exposito's development heading? With the season winding down, has this been considered a season of good strides for him?

Talk to me, Goose.
