I think a lot of teams will use it to carry a 3rd catcher.
Right now most teams play their catchers 2:1, meaning for every 2 games your starting catcher gets, the backup starts one.
If one of them gets an injury (and catchers as with all baseball players get injured a lot) it means you have to go into the minors and use an option year potentially.
In OOTP I will probably use it for a third catcher as well. If that catcher can also play a little 1B and corner OF then all the better.
I could be very wrong, but coming out of ST I could see a lot of MLB teams opt to go back north with a third catcher on their rosters.
