My Kingdom for a Catcher!

I had a good 60s season, losing in the finals, so I'm not complaining. However, I find it amusing just how awful my catchers were. The following catchers were my starters at one point in the season before I dropped them (card rating based on OPS):

Elston Howard (worst card)
Gus Triandos (worst)
Dick Dietz (worst)
Sherm Lollar (worst)
Jack Hiatt (second worst)

Finally, at game 118, I picked up Randy Hundley who has his tied-for-best card and he hit well for me. Ironically, Hundley had been horrible in previous seasons I tried him, so I was reluctant to pick him up. With hindsight, I should have kept Triandos who really doesn't have a bad year. However, my "expert" analysis was that Dietz was likely on his best card when his first manager unexpectedly dropped him. Oops!

One more thing: My backup catcher Buck Rodgers also had his worst card!

Wow, pretty amazing

A new 60s team, a new season. A fresh start!

First injury of the year in game 8 reveals Dick Dietz is on his worst year!

With your recent luck in catchers, bite the bullet and go for a decent fielding/throwing .75M catcher like Paul Casanova. Then use your money elsewhere. However, Casanovo does have 30 HRs for me in my 60s league with 6 games to go
