No one will pick up Thole. He will be released, re- signed to a minor league deal and be bacK when they expand the rosters to catch Dickey's next start. I also don't see RA making the rotation in the post season so we won't be seeing Thole come October. In fact I only see Dickey making the playoff roster for some mop up duty to save some arms I n any blow out games,,but that's another thread.

Wait a minute.... If Thole is released and re- signed, is he even eligible for the play off roster? How does this work for playoffs for a back up catcher? Or if someone claims him? So Boston claims him just so Toronto enters the playoffs with a rookie back up catcher? I'd do it if I was Boston or any AL gm in the playof picture.
