No power, and as Billfer noted, no walks. But also few K's. A good low cost move for a back up. I can't believe the Pirates just released this guy. Of course I can't believe anything the Pirates do.

His burden was more than he's ever done before and more than most catchers anyway. A dependable backup, to me, is a must, if for no other reason than it will make Gerald better.

The back up has to play more and hit better then sardinha. If neither is hitting, you can then call Avila back up to assume the job, if he is ready. Avila getting playing time is really the best thing for him nwo and for his future.
