With a new manager taking over the Indians this year in Terry Francona, the move is also expected to bring some stability for catcher Carlos Santana. That means Santana will be staying put behind the plate this season with only the occasional respites at first base or as the designated hitter. "The idea of a catcher who can produce offensively, I think gives us that much more of an advantage," Francona told MLB.com on Friday. "The idea is for him -- while hopefully producing a lot offensively -- to understand how much he has to take care of the staff, and we'd like him to catch as much as possible."
