Clevenger does not feel like he has gained an edge in the job for the backup catcher position, MASN Sports reports. Clevenger is battling Caleb Joseph, Ryan Lavarnway and J.P. Arencibia for the spot. Joseph remains the favorite, while Clevenger and the others are underdogs. Clevenger slashed a serviceable .305/.366/.389 with Triple-A last year, but he did not perform well in his MLB role (.225/.289/.337 in 35 games). The Orioles have more confidence in Clevenger's bat than his defense and that is the reason Joseph gained an edge last year in the first place.
