Pirates manager Clint Hurdle may be trying to shake things up a bit. While catchers Francisco Cervelli and Chris Stewart appear to be locks to make the team, Hurdle is considering carrying a third catcher for Opening Day, reports MLB.com.
"We've got a long way to go. We've got two weeks of baseball to go. I would think it would be an interesting concept for us to carry three catchers," Hurdle said Tuesday. "That would be very interesting. I won't say it's on the top of my list. I won't say it's on the bottom of my list."
If he decides to go that route, Tony Sanchez and Elias Diaz would be the next options for Pittsburgh. Hurdle likes what he's seen from Sanchez so far in camp.
"You've got to love the things Tony's brought to camp this spring," Hurdle said. "You've got to love the way he's receiving the ball, blocking the ball, throwing the ball and swinging the bat."
