Gardenhire said utility infielder Luis Rodriguez would handle the catching duties in an emergency. In his 147 games in the big leagues, Rodriguez has never been behind the plate.

My question is these folks, why wouldn't Justin be the emergency Catcher he's got the most Exp. as a Catcher, granted this is in an EMERGENCY.. I think that we need bats more than a third catcher to sit and ride the pine. When we do have a guy "Justin" who was once a catcher himself.
I thought it was commical the LRod is the emergency catcher. I'm sorry but if Heintz is recalled I think it is a gastly mistake.
The way REDDOG is spraying the ball we need him in the lineup, deal with the consequences when they happen, roll the dice and keep the hot bats in the lineups
