Catcher
The San Diego Padres have spent their spring camp looking for solutions to their depth issues for the coming season. It seems clear that the biggest need still remaining is catching depth. The team has to keep Brett Sullivan on the 26-man roster or make him available to waivers. That leaves Luis Campusano, Elias Diaz, and Martin Maldonado as their reliable options. Diaz appears to be the clear favorite as the primary catcher, but neither Maldonado nor Campusano have distinguished themselves so far.
Outfield and Utility
There is almost no doubt that Jose Iglesias was brought to this team to make the roster.
