another catcher?
errr, how many do we need? with mcann, perez, brayan pena and pratt, i think we've got injuries covered. i guess pena will be traded or sent back to AAA, leaving three. interesting signing. i guess it doesn't hurt to have extra inexpensive ('m assuming) veterans around.

Pena
Pratt is a decent backup/platoon type catcher and has experience to help McCann. He's something like a catcher's version of Julio Franco.
