Giants Spring Training Preview: Catchers

Coming in to Spring Training, the Giants are really only set at one position: catcher. Buster Posey will return from a lengthy absence and seems to be right on schedule recovering from his hip procedure, which sets him up to be able to start behind the dish on Opening Day.

New President of Baseball Operation Farhan Zaidi has used most of this offseason to add depth to the previously thin roster, prioritizing positional versatility and upside rather than pedigree. This meant Nick Hundley, a relatively one dimensional offense-first catcher was not given a contract and has recently crossed the Bay, and the Giants will miss his veteran leadership and overall clubhouse presence.
