The next Evan Gattis? Better home park.

Not a lot of people playing fantasy have heard of this catcher in the Rockies camp but take a look at his 2013 stats:

48GP 180AB 31R 59H 15-HR 45RBI 123TB 11BB 21SO 0SB
.328AVG .359OBP .683SLG 1.042OPS

Matt McBride also had 17 doubles in his injury shortened season with the SkySox.
Given the injury history of Wilin Rosario, wouldn't you consider McBride as a handcuff option over Pacheco?

Before '13 he played mostly OF so a callup could mean more AB than just on days he's behind the plate.
Today Colorado is starting him at 1B in the first game of a DH.
Keep your eye on him.

The PCL provides many mirages.
It should be interesting to see if Chris Owings is one or not.
