The Baltimore Orioles are currently in search of catching depth at the major league level. There are currently six catchers in Sarasota with one more, Jesus Sucre, hopefully on the way after his visa problems are resolved. The multitude of catchers is necessary first and foremost because there are so many pitchers that need to get their work in and secondly because I am certain the staff led by Mike Elias, Sig Mejdal and Brandon Hyde are hoping to find a nugget among the group.
How this group develops will not only shape the major league roster but will have ripple effects into the minor league system.
