It sounds to me like the only way Kelly plays in the big leagues this year is if there is an injury or he is part of the Sept call-ups. I was under the impression he is not quite ready for the big show and they signed Fryer as the back-up (a solid back-up, by the way). Then again, I can't quite figure out what is going on. Hopefully, he's ready to play and can learn from Yadi. 50-60 games would be ideal to keep Molina fresh (and get Kelly the experience he needs in the bigs) but they've been saying chit like that for the last 2-3 years and he still plays 130-140+ games a year. And do you really want Kelly sitting on the bench for 120+ games? Wouldn't it be better for his development to be playing every day in Memphis?
They say he's one of the the best catching prospects in the entire MLB. I hope he pans out. Yadi can't have much left in the tank, unless they move him to first base to finish his career...
