Your philosophy on the catcher position? - Page 2

I want at least a 65/80 Ability and ideally the ability to play some other position such as LF/RF/3B/1B as a backup plan for when they age out of catching. I'm not too concerned about offense from my catchers as long as they aren't truly awful with the bat. As a note, I also value defense highly for every position (except for pitching, where pitching is important) so this likely plays into my preferences because if you can't score then you can't beat me even if it takes a few extra innings.

This is identical to how I do it. I won't accept a starter with bad defence, but the bat matters a fair bit too.

Back-up, always combines elite defence (9 or 10 out of 10), and a positive character. There are usually guys around for very little who can at least bat a bit too.
