In the spring, there was big talk of two young catchers: J.R. Towles of the Astros and Geovanny Soto of the Cubbies. So far, things have gone really well for one and not so well for the other.
*J.R. Towles-I got to see him in his first spring training at bat in lovely Winter Haven and he looked like he couldn't hit a beach ball. Right now, Towles is batting an ugly .155 with 4 homers and 12 RBI in 37 games for the Astros.
*Geovanny Soto-Soto has gotten off to a terrific start at .309/9/34 and 15 doubles. He's looking like the NL All-Star catcher right now. Soto might help the Cubs smash the curse in 2008. I'm sure the Cubs will find a way to blow it.
