J.P. Arencibia seemed to give the team a little pop from the catcher's spot when he joined the team in September. After watching the lack of offense from Jose Molina and Rene Rivera, I had to rub my eyes to see if I was dreaming when Curt Casali got behind the plate and hit home runs and Arencibia followed suit. So I was surprised that the team did not put Arencibia on the 40-man roster. What do you think influenced that decision?

First, I think the Rays believe that Rivera's lack of offense in 2016 was an aberration.
