The report on cubs.com just said that he has been hitting .297 in the last 25 games which is better than the hitting that the Cubs have been receiving from the catchers. I honestly think this move is based on the setback that Blanco just had in his rehab. The Cubs probably feel they need a veteran catcher to go along with the younger guys.

Not bad, and more in line of what he has done in the past.
