weird

doesn't seem to matter much...yadi's backup hardly plays...i guess if he needs more time off, he's better than pena (with the bat at least). but not great/never lived up to his hype when he was a prospect.

Still need someone traded or DFAd to make room on the 40 man for whoever the backup ends up being

Supposed to supplant Peña.

This came out of nowhere. I like it. He should be a very reliable back up catcher. Makes me think that maybe the team is still looking at the market, and hopefully we can get another surprise or two before the season starts.

Hopefully Yadi isn’t hurt worse than he already is.

If he was then I’d hope we’d aim a little higher than wieters...he’s been pretty bad the last couple years

If yadi ends up missing time, we’d just bring up Andrew K I’d hope.

We signed the wrong ex-National.

Wieters is a better back up for Molina. Switch hitter and ok defensively.

If Molina is worse than originally diagnosed, they'll need a lot more.

What’s the issue with Yadi? I didn’t know he was injured.
