6 years agoBoston Red Sox catcher Blake Swihart has made the Opening Day roster, according to Evan Drellich of WEEI. Subsequently, catcher Sandy Leon has been placed on waivers. He and Christian Vazquez will break camp as the teams' backstops to start the season. The 26-year-old has taken full advantage of his chance at the plate this spring, batting .414 over 29 at-bats with five RBI and three doubles. Swihart is certainly the offensive half of the catching platoon but by no means is he a fantasy must-have, even in a stout Boston lineup.--Steve Janik - RotoBaller
