Having recently seen their former star catcher Andrew Litteral sign up to play with the St. Louis Redbirds, the San Francisco Velocity did pick up a quality offense-first catcher in Francisco Maza to pair with the more defensively gifted Erik Bettencourt, who they also recently acquired.
In getting Maza from Detroit the Velocity didn't have to give up much, although 28-year old Greg Lipton is a terrific defensive outfielder with elite speed. His poor hit tool though should limit him to defensive sub/pinch-runner roles.
