Need cather help - Trade for VMart?

[cs3]

I had ianetta, then napoli, and currently have miguel olivo as my only catcher and im getting absolutely zero production from the postion. I dont want want to carry 2 catchers because due to the leagues funky roster structure + the counting piching stats + the fact that there is no limit on max innings, i want to use most of my bench for starting pitching.
So ive been shopping for a catcher and one of the owners has expressed interest in trading him.
fwiw after 2 weeks we are both in 1st place in our respective divisions. im 17-5-2 due primarly to dominant pitchinhg (and the fact that i ran into 2 teams with ice cold bats) and he is 14-7-3.
his team has probably the best offense in the league but his pithcing has been hurting him.
who would you be willing to trade to aquire VMart? if you think a multi-player deal is the way to go, which palyers?
or do you think i should stand pat for now, or maybe pickup a free agent catcher - pierzinsky, barajas, baker, ruiz, snyder are available.

I don't think the C position is going to make or break your season, so I might be tempted to just add Snyder for his everyday ABs and leave the pitching as is. Trading for V-Mart isn't a bad option though, just make sure you don't over spend for him. I'd maybe offer him whomever you have ranked as your SP4 and go from there. He's got Doumit on the becnch, and he's obviously not worried about his production at C, so keep in mind that you're dealing from a position of strength here.

would you deal garza or hanson for him?

[cs3]

or neither?
any other opinions on the best free agent catcher from the list above?

[I Stumped the Schwab]

would you deal garza or hanson for him?

i definitely would not deal either of them for martinez. really, im a sox fan and im not sold on martinez, and his asking price is probably too high. really, don't worry about catcher too much. like Fenris said, catcher wont make or break your season. heck, in my opinion i think overspending on a catcher can break seasons. id just keep your great pitching staff, great pitching staffs have normally equalled great success with me in the past. just keep picking up whoever the hot catcher is during the season and that should be fine

thanks guys, ill stick with my rotating cast of catchers. hopefull land santana whenever he gets called up and takes over in cleveland

[cs3]

with news mathis out with the wrist injury, i claimed napoli again, so now i at least have a decent catcher who will play everyday for the short term future
