The Astros are discussing a minor league contract with Paul Lo Duca.
All indications are that the Astros don't trust J.R. Towles, but they're also not willing to spend money on a real catcher. If that leads to Lo Duca and Humberto Quintero sharing time behind the plate, then the Astros will be among the NL's worst at three positions, the others being third base and center field.
