I am not too worried about finding a backup catcher, Martin plays a lot, and they are pretty easy to find mid season. Even coming out of spring training there will probably be a couple defensive first backups available.
Also Jimenez has been in the system forever, give him a shot to start the season or Ohlman, and maybe we can get by till McGuire is ready. Sounds like his defense is already at big league level, he just needs to work on his bat.
I would prefer to find a lefty bullpen arm a late inning reliever. After that I would look for a lefty power bat for the outfield.
