Depth at catcher
While there are a couple potential starters among the bunch, there isn't an immediate need for major league depth given that Jarrod Saltalamacchia, David Ross, and Mike Napoli are all stated to start the season on Boston's 25-man roster. However, the door is open for Ryan Lavarnway to take on a larger role in 2014, and for former first rounder Blake Swihart to compete for a starting job in late 2015 or early 2016.
