The Cardinals Need A Backup Catcher For 2017, Is Carson Kelly Ready?

A few days ago the Cardinals officially moved on from Brayan Pena as their backup catcher. Not that Pena was ever in a St. Louis uniform long enough to make sure we’d remember he signed a two-year, $5 million free-agent contract with the Cards last winter. Pena was a jolly good soul who actually tried to catch with a Santa Claus body.

Cardinals Emergency Pitchers: 1996-2008

While I have been lamenting the St. Louis Cardinals’ decision to let infielder Aaron Miles go, it probably isn’t for the same reason that most Miles-backers cite for their dissatisfaction.
