Brayan Pena is never going to wow anyone, and it’s still not clear if/when Bryan Holaday or Ramon Cabrera will be ready for the big leagues. Given Alex Avila’s injury troubles, I’m suprised the Tigers haven’t shown more urgency at the catcher spot already. Avila will not be able to have another 800+ OPS season while also catching 140+ games, so a quality backup will be important.
