Looks like DD wants a better back up than Cabrerra at catcher. No details yet on how much but Hoffman may get grabbed by another team....no big deal. I like Pena as a backup. Switch hitter and good defense.

Well we needed a backup. Solid move but nothing special.
I feel bad for Holaday because I like his offense but Pena and Cabrerra are better defensively.

I like it. Switch hitters who are decent with glove and bat are ot all bad. On the cheap too.
Leyland likes having 3 catchers on the roster anyways and they all still have to go through spring training. Holaday doesn't have a reason to hang his head yet and he knows it
Pena hit over .300 in day games last year in just under 100 plate appearances, not a big sample size but just wanted to throw it out there since he will be catching during the day in most cases I would presume.

I like the signing. Gives Holaday 1 more year to get some seasoning in AAA and get regular ABs. Pena also has knowledge on how to beat Bruce Chen!
I love this move. Solid pick up with experience and not bad offensively. It gives Holiday and Cabrerra another year down in the minors.
