Based on name, I would go with Barrera. With just a little rearranging of the letters, and dropping a couple, you get “Berra”, who is one of the 2 or 3 top all-time catchers in the history of MLB. 🙂
But again, based on Knizner’s work at AAA I think he is a better hitter than he has shown so far at the top level. He seems to call a good game and take charge pretty well out there as well. He had a great mentor in Yadi.
It is one of those “nice problems to have”, with two guys who can handle the backup duties.
