Drop Iannetta for Pudge?

[stcardinal]

My catcher position is kind of weak, currently I am starting Pablo, and my backup is Iannetta. Should I drop him for Pudge? The way I see it, Pudge will start most of the games and has a better average and can steal at least 1-2 bag for me.

Ummm no.

If you have Pablo Sandoval and Iannetta, your catching is incredibly strong.

I'm sorry, but Pudge is a terrible idea for you.

[stcardinal]

Really? None of you guys like Pudge?

[smoovethug]

Sure if this is the late 90's. The fact is that Iannetta broke out last year while sharing ABs. He should get a full workload this year and only continue to get better.

Under no circumstances should you do that. Pudge was a fantastic player, but he's just not a fantasy catcher anymore.

I'm willing to bet Ianetta ends up with better overall numbers than Pablo...both will be better than Pudge, the economy wasnt the only reason it took him this long to get a job

please help

Iannetta had 18 HR's in a little under 400 AB's. If you were to drop EITHER catcher (which I wouldn't) it would be Pablo.

What an odd question. Pudge is finished and Iannetta is just getting started. I think Iannetta could be McCannesque as soon as this year.

Yeah, I think this will really be a good year for Iannetta.
