Other than pitching, I feel Catcher is the most difficult spot to fill. During the beta, I had a L/R platoon going that was just ok in results.
I finally decided that unless you are a whale or get incredibly lucky you are just going to have to decide what's more important to your team.....do you need another big bat or do you need incredible defense that can (slightly) influence your pitching too.
I opt for the great defense option. My catcher can't hit his weight, but he throws out almost 50% of base stealers and I RARELY see him with a passed ball. He also currently has zero errors for the year.
Opting for great defense isn't always the answer for everyone. But it is for MY overall team. Consider what YOUR team needs and the answer should be obvious...that's my advice. Good luck!
