i'd use him as the mlb backup.. he's good enough now and development can go higher in the mlb... no worries about negative effect of over-simmering.
relative to a catcher he's "good enough" that he be somewhere in the middle even with a 45 contact.
after a year, you can decide which to keep or trade.. @26/27 you still got ~3-4 viable years before any real concern about aging on a catcher. they do start aging before other positions, but ~30aged season is still safe.
i try to avoid "getting lucky" about age. trade before it ruins their value etc.
unless you got an average offense, these guys shouldn't be anywhere near the first 6 batters anyway. ~.250 hitters with a light amont of xbh power.
