ajc.com reports that Infante is ready to be activated and will be in uniform for today's game.
To make room for Omar, the Braves will more than likely place back up catcher Bryan Pena on the 15-day DL. Bobby Cox has claimed that Pena has a sprained lower back, which is a reason why Pena hasn't pinch hit the last few days.
riiiight.. you're a slick one Mr. Bobby. Nice way to buy Frankie Wren more time in deciding what to do in solving that ever huge problem we have all wondered about this whole season-- What to do with 3 catchers?? lol.
As for my ever most humble of opinion, I'd like to see Corky desginated or traded. I'm not sold on him. Pena's bat is a ton better and his catching abilities are just as good as Corky's.
Corky Miller is a slightly better defensive catcher but his bat is almost worthless and for that reason I agree he should be the one to go. This would be a slick move by Wrenn but the need to move Miller or Pena is still there to be dealt with. I believe Wrenn should make a decision and just do it.
You are so right about that 3peat. Corky is ok defensively but offensively he is worthless. I think this is a no-brainer. Keep Brayan Pena and get rid of Corky.

To this the only question I ask is why would Bobby put Pena on the DL when he could put Miller on the DL instead. Maybe Pena really does have a stiff back.

Brayan Pena just recently pinch hit on Sundays game when he started that rally.
Cox and Wren meet, Cox leaves Wren's office and calls Pena in to tell him that he is the one who is staying. Then Cox tells him he is injured and going on the DL, to which Pena replies by saying "uh, okay." This allows Cox to showcase Miller a little more in order to trade him for a middle reliever. Then the trade gets done, and Pena's back will mysteriously be fully recovered...hmmmmm.
corky is better defensivly just letting you know he has a better arm and blocks plate better now a back up is supposed to come in an catch not hit hitting is just a plus and i love infante he can do it all and only 26 he is a great guy to have on a team and i think he will help us out in big spots this year then wait till prado gets back thats a very good bench norton prado and infante rememeber infante can play outfield so we can keep all three on roster
