First, a comment I'm sure has been raised. It would be AWESOME if the auction screen let you filter on abilities. Often what you're looking for, as in this case, is a backup player who is good at a certain thing. It is quite tedious to have to open up every single player on the auction list to see if they have that one thing.

To my question...looking for a good backup catcher...who has a really good catcher rating. Obviously, not going to be that great a hitter, or wouldn't be a backup. Anybody have any suggestions?

Is it worth carrying 2 starter level catchers, for this same reason? It's the one position a typical utility player can't play. So, the backup does get into games.

Is there any value in pairing catchers with pitchers in OOTP? This happens a lot in real baseball, but strikes me as something very difficult to model.

To help answer....Wilson Ramos is my current catcher. Looking at either adding a better backup behind him, or possibly picking up Posey/similar. My current backup C is Butch Wynegar...and maybe he is the best player for what I am describing?

Help much appreciated! Thanks!
