George Kottaras - C - Kansas City Royals
Jan. 25, 2013 - 2:20 PM ET

Royals claimed C George Kottaras off waivers from the Athletics.

Kottaras won't get much playing time unless Salvador Perez gets injured, but he represents a nice upgrade over Brett Hayes as the backup. The 29-year-old batted .211/.351/.415 with nine homers last year between the Brewers and A's.
