Catcher/Trainer Wanted

Wanted: Catcher with MLB experience with good knees, a cannon for an arm, and can step into job immediatley. Must hit 250 plus and not be associated in any way with the Molina family.

In steps Chris Stewart...played with the White Sox and the Rangers, a 300 triple A hitter and pretty good behind the dish. We're lucky. Things could have been much worse (like the ugly rumor that we were looking at dragging the Red Sox cast off Mirabelli away from his soaps to suit up!) Due apparently to some administrative miscalculation the #1 choice in Chad Moeller got tied up in waivers and if our Molina (apparently it is a new MLB rule that every team must employ a Molina) had pulled up lame like he did earlier this year we may have been a little jammed up.

Given the way we have sprained, pulled, and hyperextended our way out of the gate this year Cash and the boys better have a better game plan than cloning Betemit and Duncan. There is opportunity in this recent rash of ridiculous - and completely avoidable- injuries that have plagued us thus far. Use the setbacks to expand the depth chart downward and get a look at what might be on the field 2 years from now. It's still April. Bring up a few more Stewarts and let's see what they can do. The way things are going, they might be starting in June.

Chin up though. The Red Sux have the series champion lineup on the field and they aren't doing any better.
