Has he been in XST for Miami?  Noticed there are no 2012 stats.

Per Campbell, yes. LINK

The switch-hitting Morales, 20, is a ninth-round 2009 draft choice who has spent this season in extended spring training and will report the Astros’ extended spring training complex in Kissimmee, Fla., before receiving his club assignment. He spent most of 2011 with Jamestown in the New York-Penn League (rookie), batting .272 with four home runs, 23 RBIs and a .385 on-base percentage in 52 games.

referred to as a catcher but played almost half his games in 2011 at 1B.  That is not where I would play a strong catcher prospect.  Sounds more like a catcher project.
