SAN DIEGO -- It's a fool's errand to project an Opening Day roster before Spring Training begins. Future transactions, injuries and performance will make a major impact on the Padres' decision-making over the next few weeks.

Catcher (2): Austin Hedges, Francisco Mejia
Hedges has a secure place on the Opening Day roster.
