I dont know when, but have you ever noticed that he looks like that guy from the movie "Mask" from the 1980's Not the Jim Carey movie, the one with Cher!

He's caught 29 out of 42 games, so he's certainly the #1 catcher already. As far as full time, I think he's pretty much there. He's caught like 10 of the last 12 games and only had days off after a night game where they had a day game the next day. I like him in the lineup a lot more than LaRue. Buck is hitting well this year (.295, 7HR, 15 RBI), is a better defensive catcher and has a much better arm.
GO ROYALS!!!!

He's been playing about 80% of the time lately, for a catcher, that is full time. The reason he only has 29 games played is because the first few weeks of the season Buck was splitting time with Jason LaRue.
Buck has a chance to have a good season, it looks like he has finally figured out that if you're 6'5" 230lbs you don't really need to take a long looping swing.
>change my season projection for Buck from BA-240 HR-12 to BA-280 HR-22<

Buck is nice and should already be the starting catcher. I mean it is the Royals and it's not like starting him to get the experience will hurt their chances for winning. The guy can hit. I'm mad that my Astros traded him a few years back for ol' Beltran

There is no such thing as a full time catcher anymore. If someone does play 162 games at the catcher position consider their career shortened.
