Olivo the next Marlins catcher?

The Florida Marlins clearly need a catcher, and although it has not been made official, it appears as if Rockies catcher Miguel Olivo will be free to become a free agent this winter. Money may factor into the decision, however the fact that the payroll will reportedly take a bit of a positive hit supports the idea that the Fish will not have a problem spending a little bit of extra money on a roster that the front office feels should be in playoff contention on a yearly basis. If the Marlins elect to not bring Ronny Paulino back, Olivo, who hit over 20 homers in 2006 and 2007 for the Marlins, may be the perfect fit.
