Talked to Wayne Krivsky and he said he considers catcher a "shared position" on most teams -- those that don't have a Pudge Rodriguez, etc. It's definitely possible Ross or Valentin might be headed elsewhere in a trade sometime this winter, but this could also be the Reds' way of shoring up a troublesome position.
"You need depth," said Krivsky. "You need a team. You need guys with roles. You just can’t go with two catchers – you’d better have depth there. If someone gets hurt, a foul tip, you’re out there scrambling. You’d better have some depth at that position. That’s what we’re doing here."
And Moeller's .184 average in 29 games with the Brewers last year?
"He’s better than that," said Krivsky.
