I was surprised that when Victor Martinez was traded that newly- acquired, ex-Phillies catcher, Lou Marson wasn't promoted straight to the majors. He's still at AAA Columbus and ironically his first few games since being traded have all been against his former Lehigh Valley teammates in Allentown. It seems like Marson, Carlos Carrasco and Jason Donald didn't have to pack up immediately, but just needed to switch from the home to the visitors's clubhouse.
Instead of Marson getting the call, Wyatt Toregas was recalled to make his major leagues debut with The Tribe this weekend. Who is the front runner for Cleveland's catching job on a long-term basis? You have the two above-mentioned prospects, Marson and Toregas and
you also have Kelly Shoppach, but I'll disqualify Chris
Gimenez, who seems to be more of a first baseman, who can catch occasionally. Are there any outstanding Cleveland catching prospects at Double A or below who might be heir to the job? Who do Cleveland fans see as winning the competition for the regular catchhing job, eventually?
