Re: 2007-2008 Offseason Acquisition Guide
Quote:
Dodgers signed catcher Gary Bennett, who had been with the Cardinals, to a one-year, $850,000 contract.
Bennett finds work as Russell Martin's backup despite admitting last week that he took HGH in 2003 after being outed in the Mitchell Report. Martin will again be among baseball's busiest catchers if healthy, so Bennett will start three or four times per month.

Quote:
Braves signed catcher Javy Lopez to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Lopez, who starred from the Braves from 1992-2003, was out of the league last year after being cut by the Rockies in mid-March. He'll compete with Clint Sammons and Brayan Pena for a spot backing up Brian McCann in Atlanta. Perhaps he can still be useful enough against lefties to contribute in a limited role.
