D-backs studying pitcher-catcher matchups

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- When it looks like you're going to have three catchers on your Opening Day roster and none of them is designated as the full-time starter, the question then becomes whether or not they will be paired up with a specific starting pitcher.

Jeff Mathis, Chris Iannetta and Chris Herrmann figure to be at Chase Field for the April 2 opener, but who will catch Zack Greinke that day? Well, stay tuned.

Mathis, who is regarded as the better pitch-framer, was behind the plate for Greinke's first spring start Friday, but that might not always be the case.
