Pick up any of these catchers?

Postby styles » Tue Mar 31, 2009 9:06 pm

Currently have Posada but don't trust he is gonna be healthy all year. Would I be better off dropping him (or any of my other players) for any of these catchers?

Mike Napoli, LAA
Navarro, TB
Pierzynski, CWS
Ramon Hernandez, Cin
Shoppach, Cle

5x5 scoring (OBP instead of AVG) 10 Team H2H

My Lineup:

C - Posada
1B - Pena
2B - Pedroia
3B - Longoria
SS - Hardy
OF - Braun
OF - Kemp
OF - Rios
Util - Dunn
Util - Abreu
BN - Ibanez

SP - Webb
SP - Liriano
RP - Jenks
RP - Ryan
P - Wang
P - Bell
P - Nolasco
BN - Randy Johnson
BN - Harang
BN - Slowey
BN - Weaver

Thanks.

i don't really see anyone you could drop; maybe randy johnson. i like napoli... good power. he's the best available there in my opinion. i agree with your concerns about posada, but i wouldn't drop him. he's still good.

help me please: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=375376

I would just wait until Posada goes down. Getting a backup catcher when you don't need him is a waste of a roster spot. If Posada doesn't get hurt then you just wasted a roster spot for the whole season.

But between the C you listed, I like Navarro. He may not have as much power as Napoli, but he hits for more contact and is less streakier.
