I wouldn't be opposed to sending out an projectable arm with one of Thames/Arencibia to land a solid 3rd option. I agree in that JPA is one of the league's worst catchers, but he can still swat 20+ home runs from behind the dish, and that may be appealing to quite a few playoff bound teams.
I mean, B. Molina was the catcher on a World Series roster... You don't think a team would pay to replace him with JPA? You add in a projectable arm like a Nestor Molina, you should be able to net yourself a pretty solid 3rd starter I feel.
