I'm happy with this signing. 3.5 million dollars is a fair deal for his production and he had some good moments at the plate, especially for a backup catcher. His work behind the plate is pretty good too.

He basically did what I had hoped Casali would do. Curt was good for the young staff at the time, but Maile took that veteran catcher role and embraced it.
Just throwing this here because it doesn't deserve it's own thread . . . yet.

Four managers, two umps and two executives make the list for this special committee.
Former Reds managers Lou Piniella and Davey Johnson take up two of the slots.

Not a bad signing, his work behind the plate w the pitching staff was pretty good and that's what matters most. While he won't light the world on fire with the bat, he isn't a bad option at the bottom of the order. Now that Tyler S. has gotten through a whole season HEALTHY, perhaps he can take the next step in his development and we might have a decent catching tandem next year. If not, this is a sort of "kick the can down the road" type of signing to get through next year while we look for other catching options.

I was just typing to his sister about this and they all seem pretty happy that he's staying home!
Hopefully they can get some pitching and be contenders!
