wil_m Joined: 01/08/2016 Posts: 248 Inactive | Yeah thought there would be. Left handed throwing catchers are extremely rare in the real life MLB. So I guess I will train him at 1B. Too bad he did not throw Right handed. |

That guy has a downright terrible arm, and should never under any circumstances play catcher. The one defensive skill that does matter for catchers is the arm, and an 8 won't cut it at any league level. | ||

wil_m Joined: 01/08/2016 Posts: 248 Inactive | Good points about the weak arm strength. Thanks everyone I'll never plan on putting him at C unless it is meaningless games at the end of the season. He'll be a 1B or DH |
