Went away from Pudge for a while but went back to him and prestiged him and been taking since his return
-
I have every Catcher mentioned, but I’m still using Posada. I just rake with him.
-
Imo Foxx is the best option and it’s not close

That’s the kind of thing a basket case would

Normally I’m a Posada guy but my goodness Salvy is a masher.

Foxx is the best bat, but somewhat of a liability on defense. I played him at C through my WS run and didn't really have issues, but you can't complain when he doesn't block a pitch in the dirt that allows your opponent to advance or score.
Salvador Perez is probably the best all around catcher, he has a good swing and solid perks to go with good enough defense and a reasonable arm. I wish his contact versus lefties was just a bit higher though.
Travis D'Arnaud is okay, but he's like Mookie behind the dish with extreme reverse splits. Most already have Trout and Tatis and maybe Mookie too, so too much of the same could be a problem here when facing a lefty.
Piazza's swing makes him terrible imo.
Pudge is the best defensive catcher but his swing doesn't generate any exit velo whatsoever, very underwhelming card.
Johnny Bench is terrible, but don't worry about him because you'll never get your hands on him.
Buster Posey is still okay in my opinion, especially if you run a lineup with a lot of reverse split guys like Trout, Tatis and Mookie or a lot of lefty bats; Posey is a great lefty killer to plug in between some of them. I personally think he has a great swing too.
CAP is always a solid option, I would advise to make a balanced 89 overall CAP with all diamond equipment if you choose to go that route.
Last but not least, Posada is a tremendous budget option who plays well above his attributes. His swing is fantastic and the ball jumps off his bat, I really like that card. He's not a great defensive catcher but still decent and doesn't get penalized for playing a secondary position.

No one gonna say pudge??? By faaar the best defensive catcher in the game. I hit like .275 with him which is plenty for the defense he brings to the table.

.275? I guess that's a matter of perspective, anyone who bats .275 for me I consider atrocious and will never even be worth a glance again lol.

CAP has been better than any catcher I have put behind there. The gold version raked, the 89 Power with maxed equipment is almost a cheat code.
His name......is Robert Paulson
-
Salvy has been awesome for me
-
Jacob Stallings is a stud. At least for me, but Perez is really good.
-
So you want an "end game" catcher, but dont want to pay for an end game catcher?? Your only endgame carchers are Foxx and Salvy Perez. There are other serviceable options like Realmuto, Stallings, etc but those aren't "endgame".

Agree with Foxx and Perez. But I have to give some love to Realmuto, I’ve raked with him. And Biggio is great if you value speed as a way to get extra bases at the higher levels.

I plan on completing the exchanges to get Salvador Perez after I get Mookie today, but I am doing okay with d'Arnaud so far. Ridiculously small sample size, but in a couple of games in ranked he is batting a thousand with 3 home runs and a couple of walks. I think I'll have to let the guy at least make an out before he takes a seat.
For what it's worth, d'Arnaud also has better overall defense, speed, vision and discipline over Perez. I'm not saying d'Arnaud is the best catcher in the game, but he may be the best value at 10-15 k. You could also make a good case for Posada since he is a switch hitter and a little cheaper, but with a weaker and less accurate arm and people bunting/stealing I'm not sure I would want him as a long term option.
