The Rays incumbent catcher, Dioner Navarro, went from being a marginal All-Star in 2008 to absolutely wretched in 2009 (100 OPS+ to 52). Late in the season the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fivetoolfans.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9972932&amp;post=370&amp;subd=fivetoolfans&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
