"\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Jim Callis&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;July 30, 2005&lt;\\/i&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;For the second time in three days, the Padres picked up a catcher to tide them over until Ramon Hernandez recovers from a left wrist injury. San Diego acquired Miguel Olivo from Seattle for two minor leaguers, catcher Miguel Ojeda and righthander Nathanel Mateo.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The Mariners got the 27-year-old Olivo in &lt;a href=\\\"040627garcia.html\\\"&gt;the June 2004 Freddy Garcia trade&lt;\\/a&gt;, hoping he could become their starting catcher. But Olivo never hit for Seattle, including a .151\\/.172\\/.276 performance with five homers and 18 RBIs in 54 games this year. He has fine tools for a catcher, including power, good speed for his position and a very strong arm. But he&amp;#8217;s erratic at the plate, as his plate discipline has disappeared in the majors, and behind it as well. The Mariners even sent Olivo to Triple-A Tacoma for a month this year in hopes of getting him going, but that didn&amp;#8217;t work either. He now becomes part of San Diego&amp;#8217;s catching mix with Robert Fick and recent acquisition &lt;a href=\\\"050728ross.html\\\"&gt;David Ross&lt;\\/a&gt;. Olivo likely will be arbitration-eligible for the first time after the season. He&amp;#8217;s a career .218\\/.265\\/.375 hitter with 25 homers and 90 RBIs in 270 games.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Ojeda, 30, has slipped markedly at the plate after two solid seasons as a backup for San Diego. Ojeda had established himself as a decent hitter for average and power, but this year he batted just .137\\/.232\\/.205 with six RBIs in 73 at-bats before the Padres demoted him to Triple-A Portland in early July\\u2014and he struggled mightily there as well. He doesn&amp;#8217;t have a strong arm and has failed to throw out a big league basestealer in nine attempts this year. The Mariners, who have a muddled catching situation after losing Dan Wilson to a knee injury and dealing Olivo, initially plan on keeping Ojeda on their active big league roster. He&amp;#8217;ll compete for playing time against Yorvit Torrealba, who joined Seattle in &lt;a href=\\\"050730winn.html\\\"&gt;Saturday&amp;#8217;s Randy Winn trade with San Francisco&lt;\\/a&gt;, and Wiki Gonzalez. Olivo has hit .224\\/.308\\/.359 with 12 homers and 54 RBIs in 166 big league games.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Mateo, 25, signed with the Phillies in 1998 out of the Dominican Republic. He spent one year in Philadelphia&amp;#8217;s system before being released, and then spent time in the minors with Japan&amp;#8217;s Hiroshima Carp before signing with the Padres in 2003. He has a low-90s fastball, and this year he has made improvements with his curveball. Mateo was 3-4, 3.08 with one save in 48 games at Double-A Mobile this year. He had a 39-15 strikeout-walk ratio in 53 innings, while opponents hit .275 with two homers against him.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
