They have to have a catching backup to Ivan. It looks like this hopefully won't be a decision to be made though as Wilson will recover and return to the lineup.

His catching days are past, but it's too bad he's not better defensively behind the dish - we may have a spot there if the Tigers decide Rabelo isn't a suitable "long term" backup. I hope we see him back in Detroit soon.

Homer was thought by some to make the team to start off this year but he had a less than dominating spring. Good to see some Shelton continued success.
