I don't know how much the Giants are willing to spend for a backup catcher and utility player.
I have no problem of platooning Posey at first. He did fade out last season so finding another catcher who can manage the pitching staff and be a mentor to Posey is paramount.
It's too bad about Penny and Uribe. You can do a lot worse of than Sanchez and it might give Bumgarner an opportunity as the fifth starter. That being said, they should continue to bolster the bullpen to support the starters. In regards to utility players, Kevin Frandsen, Ryan Rohlinger or Jesus Guzman should get their chances if the Giants feel the UT players they want prove costly.
