Paul Bako enjoyed another solid start at catcher on Thursday, as he went 2-for-3 with two RBI in a 4-1 win over the Brewers. He raised his batting average to .364 and has done as admirable job filling in until David Ross returns from injury.
April 9, 2008
Manager Baker has been pleased with catcher Paul Bako, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Baker said, "With the injuries we've had to that catcher department, you're always going to have them, he's done an excellent job." He is hitting .316 over 19 at-bats, but he will get Wednesday off in favor of Javier Valentin, who has a better track record against Milwaukee pitcher Dave Bush.

February 20, 2008
Reds manager Dusty Baker said that he might keep catchers David Ross, Javier Valentin and Paul Bako on the roster, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. "There's an outside possibility we'll carry three catchers," Baker said. "It's how things go. Late in a game, you'd love to have a guy like Bako behind the plate if I double switch. I could pinch-hit Javy. There are a lot of options." Baker has had both Bako and Valentin work at first base to further increase his options. Bako still has to earn a spot as a non-roster invitee, though.
February 2, 2008
Paul Bako has signed a minor league contract with the Reds, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. He'll fight for a roster spot in camp, but he'll be a long-shot.
January 30, 2008
