What little I've heard says his pure defense isn't all that good, but good game-calling/leadership skills. <br /><br />I have heard, though, that you do have to put a guy claimed off waivers on the 40-man so that's one puzzle solved. <br /><br /> Here's a thought: Good chance that Riggans could be put on waivers (thus off 40-man) and there's a good chance that no one would claim him because of his injury history and he'd end up in Durham (unless yet once again I don't understand baseball rules). That still leaves 4 catchers on the 40-man, which still doesn't make all that much sense.Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-76247386075661005152009-07-31T10:14:44.610-04:002009-07-31T10:14:44.610-04:00Well, I guess I should refresh your site before I ...Well, I guess I should refresh your site before I comment, since I just mentioned this in my other comment. Odd thing about this is that the most common Rays trade rummor I read about is Victor Martinez, who is another catcher (though, to be fair, he does play 1B also. However, if they picked him up, I am sure they would rather have him replace Navarro than Pena).DRRnoreply@blogger.com
