I'm sure his name recognition helps a ton, but honestly I was looking over the list of catchers in the AL and I'm not sure who deserves it over him. Gary Sanchez is hurt. Martin Maldonado maybe? Yan Gomes? Robinson Chirinos? None of these guys are really lighting the world on fire. Zunino is on a good team in the Mariners, and he's hitting homers but he's also hitting .189.
I think it's simply that you need a backup catcher, there aren't any real great candidates and Salvy is at least having a good defensive season. Plus there's no way Whit was going to be the backup 2B over Gleyber Torres.
