The answer to the question of who will be the Oakland A's starting catcher in 2012 is obvious, but the race for the job of backing up Kurt Suzuki is wide-open. We take a look at the A's spring training battle for that back-up catcher spot inside.

Joel Hanrahan hopes to rise above the checkered encore history of the team's few iconic closers. Evan Meek hopes to rebound from his own more-recent injury history. Slay those two demons, and the Pirates bullpen will again be one of the strongest pillars of contention.
