Chris Snyder hit his second homer of the spring Tuesday against the Mets. Perhaps it's too early to be making judgments, but it sounds like Snyder's power is intact after his latest back surgery. If so, he probably still rates as one of the game's top 20 catchers or so. The Astros, though, need to find out what they have in Jason Castro and should use Snyder pretty strictly as a backup. He could always become trade bait if he proves he's healthy.
