Need Serious Catcher Advice, Check out the Info

Who should I pick up to fill my catcher position right now:

Ryan Doumit- .244, 12 R, 5 HR, 19 RBI, 1 SB in 90 AB's. Healthy, and since he just came back from injury he has fresh legs and will not hit the wall like catchers who have played a complete season thusfar.

Miguel Montero- .291, 29 R, 9 HR, 29 RBI, 1 SB in 220 AB's. He has been consistent all season, and has been swinging a very hot bat recently.

Mike Napoli- .284, 39 R, 14 HR, 41 RBI, 2 SB in 243 AB's. Has turned it around since his dismissal from my team and is putting up numbers that resemble his early season surge that put him among the top catchers in the league. Also plays DH so he bats almost everyday.

I would go Doumit or Napoli. For a short term, I would go Napoli, but I think once the Angels OF gets healthy, he will no longer DH.

For periods longer than two weeks, Doumit. I don't believe Napoli's Batting Average will hold up.

Agreed. Napoli can absolutely rake, take him short term if you can, but once Rivera/Hunter/Guerrero get healthy, he's back to being a half-time catcher. After that, and long-term, I'd go with Doumit because of the track record...but the way Montero's hitting, that's a tough choice between the two.

It's hard to go wrong with those choices.
