Need C Help...WHIR

Postby Whosyomamma » Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:00 pm

Napoli is back to sporadic PT, and even with Soto back I'm not so sure he'll catch fire this year. Any of these C's worth dropping both of these guys so I can free up a spot for another pitcher or position player.

Johjima
Y.Molina
J.Baker
M.Olivo

If this is a 2 Catcher league, I hold onto Napoli and Soto. While neither play as first-rate catchers, you don't have any of those on the FA either. Yads is nice, but he's really only a one-category man in average, and his strong defense will get him more at bats/games played, but that's not enough for me to ditch Soto's upside and Napoli's HR potential.

Is Miguel Montero available? If you want to jump-start your C spot, give him a look.

I second Montero!!

It's not a 2 catcher league. I had Soto on the DL until recently and but I want to drop one of these sorry arse C's. Any other thoughts, I'm looking at Y.Molina mainly for his consistency.

dropping either Soto or Napoli for any of the catchers you have listed on the FA list wouldn't be the best option IMO... none of those catchers are going to give you better stats then the potential of Soto or Napoli... sorry i know it sucks cuz both have been iffy (soto with his slumps and injuries and napoli with his days off) but i would just keep a close eye on them, when Napoli is benched start Soto, when Napoli is in bench Soto, until Soto gets back to his old form then start Soto everyday...

Great thanks to soto for the sweet sig!...
