Lucas May might be a nice catcher if he can translate his above mediocre numbers from the minors to the majors.

Olson and Hefner seem like AAA filler... though both could surprise in Spring Training.

Olson once had some traction, as he was a top pick for the Birds in '05 and a lot was expected of him. At this point, he's probably an Allan Dykstra- AAA-A player at best. Just worried that we have to give up a space on the 40-man for Hefner...

The Mets are signing thrown away Pirates...
