Though while googling it, found we were the the fifth link down so tell your friends to look for any and all rookie incumbents :) It’s a political term, I guess that’s what I get for trying to trust politicians.

Two catcher leagues are a bit of a pain but you still always want to wait on them. They’re only 130 to 140 games unless they’re Carlos Santana.

Also, I’m glad I don’t play in any two-catcher leagues :) .

Nice work, btw, with your articles – they’re good.

Plus let’s realize the guy you’re putting in in most scenarios is a back up for a reason. You’re out 20+ games just like everyone else is and let’s remember one major thing: it’s a defensive position. I would rather have a bench bat like a Luke Scott over David Ross if I have Brian McCann. But again, in a 12 team mixed (which I’m assuming you’re in) and a 1-c, you probably have enough good waiver wire bats to swing back and forth on throughout the season. It just might be more labor intensive than needed for those extra 20 games and you are spinning the roulette wheel as to whether the day you pick up Salty or some other low end C that you’ll get production out of them. Could help, could hurt, but I wouldn’t sit on a back-up catcher on my bench.

Do you pick up a backup here and there to fill-in the 20+ games your catcher will miss? Seems careless to just take zeroes for that many games, regardless of the position. What do you do?

I also wouldn’t be drafting either guy in a 1 catcher league unless we’re talking 20 team. In a 12 team, 1-catcher redraft, I’d aim for a guy like Wilson Ramos.

More often than not, the average OF (or CI, etc.) can provide better counting stats than the average C.

Also, there is less guarantee that your spare C will even be starting on off days.

I haven’t heard anything but wouldn’t be surprised if it happened. Still think there’s a good chance he’s up due to improvement or injury early enough to get value from him either way.

Plug-in whomever is starting on the daily. It would cost two very late round picks. Likely to fill the 162 games played max for season.

I feel like I’ve found it useful to get a backstop in there on off-days for the counting stats, but it seems like it could be an unsound strategy.

Is the strategy of carrying 2 catchers in a 1-catcher league a waste of 1 of the 4 bench spots?
