According the AP, Brian Schneider is still bothered by his hamstring, and is getting frustrated over his inability to participate. According to the report:

“I want to be back there so bad catching these guys and seeing pitching, but right now, the smart thing to do is to give it some time to make sure I miss time now and not during the season.”

Back up catcher Ramon Castro has also been suffering from some hamstring issues, though there has been no indication that either will have to be placed on the DL and both claim they’ll be ready when the season opens.

Assuming in both cases its just a case of tightness, its nothing to worry about. However, if its anything more serious, then suddenly our next catcher is Robinson Cancel I believe. Our catching prospect pit has never been deep. After that, I assume Sandy Alomar Jr has to be activated, which requires a new contract, some paperwork, and of course the magic powers of his special treat: the Alomar Malomar.
