Welcome back, Brayan Pena.
Here's hoping the happiest man in baseball logs more innings than the backup catcher he replaced.
Yes, it's time to discuss Yadier Molina's workload. Again.
On Tuesday, the Cardinals activated Pena, whom they signed this offseason to help decrease Molina's workload. But will the Cardinals stick with that plan now that Pena is ready to play?
The knee injury Pena just returned from had him on the shelf since the tail end of spring training. Eric Fryer played admirably enough in Pena's absence. He just didn't play often enough.
Some in Cardinal Nation couldn't understand why Fryer was designated for assignment to make room for Pena.
