The Hunt For A Backup Catcher

Lots of things going on right now in the sports world, there's the World Series, there's some Division 2 school beating Syracuse but the present to you an issue far more important..THE HUNT FOR A BACKUP CATCHER.

The Orioles recently declined the option of Chad Moeller meaning that we don't have a back-up catcher. Not even a switch-hitting jesus can catch 162 games.

There are several possibilities for back-up catcher. We need someone who's low cost, a solid defensive catcher and a guy who should know how to help a young pitching staff. Right now I can only think of one guy who comes even close to the bill.

GREGORY OWEN ZAUN!

I think the re-return of Zaun would be a good decision. Wieters praised Zaun for giving him many useful tips relating to catching. Gregg has been in the league since King Kelly was playing so he knows a helluva lot about catching, and managing pitching staffs. He seems to be perfect to play once or twice a week, as mentioned above, he could be signed for dirt cheap, plays fundamental baseball and could be very useful as a mentor for the team.
Oh and he's also related to this guy.
