Aguilera didn't hit at all in his first pro season and, in fact, was only the third catcher on the VSL team, but he was in minor league camp anyway and made the GCL roster.  Either the Pirates think fairly highly of him or he was there in an organizational role.  He was relatively old when he signed.  He hit surprisingly well in 2008, although he showed little power or patience.  If his defense is good enough—he threw out 10 of 28 would-be base stealers—he'll probably fill in somewhere at the lower levels in 2009.
