Castro adjusting to the Majors and the first two spring games almost set

Bullpen coach Mark Bailey thinks that Jason Castro has all the tools necessary to succeed as a Major Leaguer:

"A catcher's body with a strong arm, soft hands and a big swing. Obviously you look at the physical tools," Bailey said. "But you look at the way he handles himself mentally and the way he carriers himself. I think with the talent that he has it will be a smooth transition. From everything I've seen so far he looks like a major league catcher in waiting."

And it also looks like Mike Hampton is set to go on Wednesday followed by Oswalt on Thursday.
