Pinto suffered from concussion issues last year and possibly the year before. He threw out over 31% of runners previous to this. His batting was also better pre-concussion. He cost nothing to get and if he is healthy (Yes, that's a big 'if'), he has the potential to contribute as a back-up catcher. I see no downside in bringing in guys like this. I have been a Brewer fan since ......... Billy Sharp was traded for Bob Coluccio ...... (or was it the other way around?). This off-season is one of the most enjoyable in my memory. A trade or acquisition a day it seems. No - the Brewers are not winning the World Series this year (barring a miracle), but I like the way Stearns is going about things. We are no longer in a world where switch-hitters, left-handed hitters, decent OBP or loogys or pitching to the strike-zone are verboten. I can't wait to see how this all plays out!
