BRADENTON, Fla. -- New catchers have extra homework. So Jesus Sucre has been busy.
Sucre is the new catcher in camp after the Rays acquired him from the Mariners shortly before the opening of Spring Training. He is in the mix, along with Luke Maile and Curt Casali, to claim one of the two available catching slots. Since arriving to camp, he's done everything possible to learn the many personalities of the different pitches thrown by the Rays' staff.
"He's done a good job," Rays manager Kevin Cash said.
