In the never-ending pursuit to fill the second catcher position on the roster, the Stouts have added Gary Bennett off the waiver wire. He takes the place of Brian Schneider, who was released just days after being picked up. Bennett was the original target to fill the platoon with Ed Taubensee, but he was snatched up by the Boston Beaneaters. Matt ended up making a trade to acquire Eli Marrero, making Bennett expendable. Once he was released, Bennett was immediately snatched up for the Baltimore roster. The main reason for Bennett over Schneider is handedness - Bennett being right-handed. He will fill the platoon against LHP for the immediate future. He is very limited AB wise though so his stay with the Stouts may be short-lived.
