Catching Preview

Here is a look at the Brewers behind the plate this season.

The starting catcher will be Jason Kendall. The work he did behind the plate last year was unreal. he helped the young pitchers develop last year, i.e. Seth McClung. Kendall will return to action this year as the primary catcher for the Brewers, but new skipper Ken Macha said he will try to sit Kendall once a week.
PREDICTION: AVG-.241 RBI-48 HR-2 SB-4

Backing up Kendall will be Mike Rivera. Rivera did a very solid job in limited action for the Brewers last year. Rivera should get a chance to show what he can do when giving a little more playing time this year. Waiting in the wings is prospect Angel Salome. Salome is at least one year away from breaking into the majors, maybe 2, but be on the look out for this little guy in the near future.
