Archer Likely to Stay Cubs Catcher Under Bresnahan
Jimmy Archer is expected to remain a catcher for the Chicago Cubs with Roger Bresnahan as manager and also playing. Bresnahan will provide backstopping but Archer’s retirement is not implied. Some say Archer might have joined the Federal league but the plan reportedly failed. He is seen by experts as a likely All-American candidate, with rivals Sehach of the Athletics and Schalk of the White Sox. Despite injuries last season he remains quick and accurate throwing from behind the plate and his performance was up to standard when healthy.
