Instead, your emergency catcher is none other than Ramon Santiago.</blockquote> I never would have guessed it would be Ramon, but Leyland's reasoning is sound. Although, after what happened with LeCroy tonight, Leyland may have second thoughts. He certainly wouldn't be "putting Santiago in a position to succeed" if he was used as a catcher. This insight, combined with LeCroy's evening, raises an interesting question. How many games are caught by an emergency catcher in any given year?
