Inbox: Who will catch on Opening Day?

Will Ryan Hanigan play at all this season? I really liked him.
-- @IsaacEllowitz

Hanigan is a solid backup catcher, both behind the plate and at the plate, where he seldom gives away an at-bat. I think the Red Sox are waiting to see how quickly Vazquez comes back before deciding what to do with Hanigan. I'm sure Hanigan would draw interest in a trade, as dependable catchers aren't the easiest thing to find. Hanigan is a great insurance option, and for now, there is no reason to move him.

There's been so much talk about Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval having bounce-back years in 2016.
