[craviduce]

if, as theorized, Ivan is going to primarily be DH upon his recall, why not have him DH during his rehab?

asking for a friend

keep testing the knee...they eventually want him back at catcher....they don't want Pages, Pozo and Herrera all on the team. Saggese needs to get back here somehow
