Cameron Rupp Not Helping His Cause
7 years agoHaving lost the starting catcher role to youngster Jorge Alfaro, Philadelphia Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp arrived at Spring Training to battle with Andrew Knapp for the backup role. Eight games into the competition, Rupp’s struggles continue as he looks to be losing the position battle. Thus far, he’s hitting just .176 with nine strikeouts in 17 plate appearances. His counterpart, Knapp, is outperforming him and has surely surpassed him on the depth chart. At this point, Rupp shouldn’t be anywhere near fantasy baseball radars, as he could soon be a third catcher, or perhaps out of a job.
