He's already like 26 and playing at 95 si Do you guys think it's worth the investment to leave him in AAA and wait for him to develop as a catcher or to go ahead and bring him up as an everyday 1b?

So you'll have a horrible catcher for three seasons, with the hopes of having a mediocre catcher for the following three seasons. Not worth it in my mind.

That means he will be a black hole on offense as soon as he starts facing halfway decent pitchers. I'm with Rock and almaric, cut him, he will be of no use to you. There are better guys available in free agency right now.
