Also, Mackanin had this to say to trent about valentin:
Pete said he was going to use Valentin to catch much more, because his bat is needed in the lineup. "He's an untapped resource that we're not using enough," Mackanin said.
wtf? where started this myth that valentin is a good hitter? Really? Career OPS+ of 81.
