Range- definately not.
Arm- maybe a little (but really depends on who you have on the mound, some have +9 ratings...)

Jerlins - What are your criteria?

Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 8:51 pmoffense, arm, T rating.
the rest I don't care about.
Offense, obvioulsy is #1, but the arm (to stop the running game) and the T rating (so he doesn't throw it into CF) are the only parts that really matter to me.

Catching
Posted: Sat Dec 16, 2006 10:32 pmIf offense is your Top concern from the catcher postion, you going to have a long season... The more you can take away from your oponent the better it is...... You have to cut the running game down, The more you keep the runners at first, the more double plays you will turn and it becomes a two hit inning to score him..... In 12 team leagues, almost all teams have somewhat of a running game.
A lot of the Stats wont show the worth of a catcher that can throw.. You will see a good pct but what you have to look at is attempts..... What you need is a catcher that stop the running game and not a decdent throw out pct.... I agree the pitcher is a big part of the running game.. But that is for another discussing question.
