One more reason to hate the Cardinals

[homer]

They are working to sign AJ Pierzynski.

[TigerUppercut]

Thanks, but don't need any more reasons.

[pitchleague]

Pierzynski stunk it up with Boston this year.

 

So, common sense sense says that would continue. But, nah, he'll hit .340 with 12 dingers.

[Dead Simmons]

Odd pickup. Released by Boston. Not hitting and reportedly a clubhouse pariah. Borderline desperate measure by the Cards GM.

[AZBrewCrew]

Makes me wonder if they will release Kottaras then. Cant see the Brewers picking him up and carrying a 3rd catcher though

[hawing]

Yeah, Kottaras was released.

[chadomac]

He will be on his 5th team since the Brewers once he signs with someone new. He must be a terrible catcher, because he's a pretty good hitter/bench bat.

[torts]

as if any of us needed another reason...

[TooLiveBrew]

So...

 

Pick up Kottaras for next to nothin', play Luc at 1B & Maldonado at C most days. Have great roster flexibility around the C position. Release Overbay. Step 4: ???. Step 5: Profit.

[hawing]

If that were to happen, George would need a new uniform number, again, since I don't see either Aramis or Jean making a change. Would that make him the first Brewer player to ever wear three different uniform numbers with the team?

[BrewersSuperCollector]

Gorman Thomas wore number 20, 3, and 44. Gorman gave up, even though he struggled, number 44 when Hank came to town.

[Dead Simmons]

He's only caught 2 games so far, but he appears to be a professional catcher in handling the pitchers and blocking wild pitches. Not much of an arm.

 

4 for 8 at the plate so far, much better hitter than Cruz and a better band-aid for the position.

I always liked the guy. He has pretty good power and gets on base.

He might be a better option than Overbay in a 1B platoon and an emergency catcher if need be.
