I don’t think Kirk is a one trick pony. He actually has some very good catching stats. He’s not a great thrower but he is average there. What he is though is a very good receiver, likely better than Jansen. Mainly he is a very good pitch framer which is something Jansen is noisy on. Kirk also has a very good offensive skill set and gives an approach that others lack on this team. The problem is his fitness. He clearly wore down last year even after being slimmer. Sure he’s never going to be slim but he really needs to be more 220-240 than 260.
