The Philadelphia Phillies are beginning to form their starting lineup for 2014 and one of the only uncertain positions is catcher.

Carlos Ruiz will be a free agent for the first time this winter.

"We're probably going to play it out," Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "That may change, but it's probably likely [we'll wait]."

Ruiz is batting .257 with two home runs and 13 RBI in 57 games.
