Marrero's attitude must get in his way--
Its a shame because he would be invaluable to the team this year as a 3 rd catcher and reserve OFer.
LaRussa was so hesitant to lift Molina for a PH last season when it really called for a PH because he was afraid Bennett would get injured and he would be left without anyone it really hurt the team in some games.

I would like to see Marrero make the team not only for this reason, but because he has speed and is versatile.raddy wrote:Marrero's attitude must get in his way--

Actually, while it veered off-target a bit, Marrero's reluctance to catch towards the end of his first tour in St. Louis was, in fact, a large reason why he was traded.
Now, he says he's willing to catch. Facing the possible end of one's career can do great things for one's attitude, I guess.
It would be good, though, for him to make the team, specifically for that reason - you don't have to have Spiezio or (in 1998, Brian Jordan) as an "emergency catcher".
Of course, if we do keep him, we'll have to hear from the boo-birds complaining that we're keeping three catchers while Rodriguez and Schumaker and Cabrera are toiling at Memphis.
