WTH 25-Man Roster - Catcher

As posted over the weekend, RHP Chris Hicks won the fifth spot on the WTH roster as our first right-handed relief pitcher.  Close runners-up included Sammy Gervacio, Josh Zeid, Blake King and Jason Stoffel.  Go here for more info on the What the Heck 25-Man Roster.

Next, let's pick our first catcher.  I tried to limit the list by leaving off some of the older catchers such as Robinson Cancel and Brian Esposito who really can't be considered prospects anymore, but I did leave on Emerson Frostad who is borderline at 28, partly because of his strong showing in the Baseball World Cup.  I also didn't include J.R. Towles because I find it highly unlikely that he will be with the organization come spring.  And, finally, I only went with players who had appeared in a minimum of 30 games.

I know that Chris Wallace will probably win this first spot, but I want to give everyone a chance to vote on it.  Personally, I have a soft spot in my heart for Jordan Comadena and I would really like to see him get more playing time in 2012.  And I've heard good reports on Ernesto Genoves and some of the others.  I do think that the Astros are finally getting a bit more depth at this position and I hope to see some movement up through the ranks by several of these catchers.

With that said, here are their 2011 numbers.  After you look them over, please vote in the poll.
