Well, they alternated Contreras and Will Smith at catcher a bunch of the time. Would be awesome to have that sort of catcher depth no doubt.

But, strangely, Smith emerged as a 3B. Convenient, not entirely plausible. But, hey, Craig Biggio did it. Maybe Smith is a speedy closet base-stealer and they decided to save his knees?

Regardless much more likely (though still outlandish) scenario than casting Contreras off to the squalor of triple A.
