There hasn’t been a question on who will be the Brewers’ starting catcher when the team breaks camp since the day they signed Yasmani Grandal. Who ends up being the second catcher on the roster, however, was a different story.
On the first day of workouts for pitchers and catchers, it looks like last year’s primary starter currently holds that spot. Speaking to reporters today, manager Craig Counsell said the players have been told that as of now, Manny Pina is second on the team’s catching depth chart, and Erik Kratz is third.
