The future behind the dish is brewing in Corpus Christi.

Martin Maldonado and Jason Castro are currently the backstops for the Houston Astros. Among others on the 40-man roster, only Garrett Stubbs is available to sit behind the dish, and while burning through his minor-league options, we don’t know how much longer he could stay with the team.

Stubbs has versatility with his showings at second base and in left field, but what is brewing in Double-A Corpus Christi? Recently, the Astros traded Triple-A catcher Lorenzo Quintana to the Miami Marlins for cash considerations.
