Upgrading the backup catcher spot

The other day, I wrote usual links for the day when one of the comments struck me as interesting.

There is a cheaper former Astro FA than Dallas Keuchel

the Phillies might want to consider signing. Evan Gattis could be the backup catcher to Alfaro, replacing Knapp. Gattis would probably only cost a few million $ and provide a good 50 RBI or so assuming he caught around 60 games and got pinch hitting duties on days when he isn’t catching.
