is this indicative of what we think about the catchers we have at OKC? isnt carlos perez deserving of a chance with all these injuries??
There are 4 catchers on the 40-man, 3 are hurt: Castro, Stassi, Corporan, then Clark. Add Pagnozzi, move somebody to the 60-day, cut somebody, whatever, just a depth move and nothing more.
