Always Keep 2 Catchers?

Postby ChainDrive » Sun Apr 18, 2010 10:35 am

yahoo 12 man H2H - Runs (R), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Batting Average (AVG), Wins (W), Saves (SV), Strikeouts (K), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP)

Should i start a catcher and keep another on my bench, or is it unnecessary?

Never keep 2 catchers unless your league forces you or if you want to stash Santana

Can you help in here plz?

I agree. Never carry 2 catchers, unless you are stashing a top prospect.

olivo for sure

maybe i missed it but is there a list somewhere of available FA? looking at your team it looks like you need some more power guys or SP (you can never go wrong having a surplus of SP in a H2H league

I like Blanks and Headley.

I am actually a proponent of having two catchers as long as you have enough bench spots. My caveat is that I would only do it with both Olivo and Iannetta, since you can then get 162 games out of the catcher position and good stats. Any other two and you can't guarantee they will be sitting/ playing the right days.
