My catching is looking pretty atrocious at this point so which 2 of these catchers should I roster and start for the time being/long term for the year?
Teagarden may hold onto to the starting C even after Salty comes back from the DL and he has good upside. Clement, IMO, is a fine option as a 2nd catcher since he's an everyday 1B for the Pirates.

I agree with you on Teagarden and Clement, but he needs to keep a close eye on Salty. I think Salty will eventually get the job back you need to be ready to pull the trigger him when he does.
Right now I'd go with Olivo and Snyder. Olivo is getting the better time share with Ianetta and outproducing Iannetta. Snyder will be solid while filling in for Montero.
Neither Clement nor Teagarden can hit a lick. Clement is playing his way to the minors since the Pirates have options at first - move Garret Jones and play Church or Young in the OF.
