77 contact vs right seems meh to me. Plus his price seems to have been manipulated. So I no likey. I’m probably sticking with good ol Jorge until a can’t miss catcher comes.
Posada is the goat. Santana will be 60k in no time
LS Realmuto is the real goat. Everyone underestimates the value of Catcher Pop Time! (Disclaimer: I have collections done and still can't take him out)
Where can we see the catchers pop time??
It is a quirk, Realmuto and Gary Sanchez are the only catchers who have it.

Can't tell ya... I paid 7,500 stubs for commons and a silver, so I can't use him.
-
How good do you think he would be or is as a first baseman instead

Not the best guitar PRS makes, but it's a good one...

I use Ivan Rodriquez - has a great arm to pick of runners.

He’s my guy too, His IE + PXP take him to like 100 contact 85 power most days, he is so underrated. And for some odd reason he never gets pitched tough in the 8 spot. I sit there thinking why do they always throw him meatballs when my pitcher is up next especially with 2 outs it’s just mind boggling.
That said I do want this Santana he’s just to much RN. He’s one of my favourite Swiss Army knives every year. At the worst he’s a Massive Switch hitter on the bench who can come in for multiple slow positions that may need pinch runners at some point. Awesome tool, JT just never needs a pinch runner or hitter haha.

I am buying Santana for sure, just waiting for his price to depress a little.

Since I already own Matt Wieters (and I'm still working on Paralleling him) -- I haven't used Santana much after I picked him up for around 69K. With his price, I'm glad that I did choose to pick him up in case I hit a slump with Wieters. That said, I have been using Santana as a pinch-hitter a bit and from what I've seen so far, I like a lot. His swing is quick and easy, the ball seems to jump off his bat and I love the fact that he's not clogging the bases with 52 speed (which is fast for a catcher) and I really love that he has 125 Plate Discipline -- as I'm someone who check-swings a lot.
Overall, I'd say that both he and Wieters are easily my favorite players at the position and are well worth picking up whoever you prefer of the two.
On a side note though, it's insane how many great options there are at catcher already! Obviously I think highly of Wieters and Santana but I also have gotten good production from TA2 Jimmie Foxx (he was my backup catcher prior to picking up Santana). Then you've also got TA2 Sam Huff and Johnny Bench; neither of which I have used aside from Showdown yet but I've heard good things about both. Plus there's still Adley Rutschman, Salvador Perez, and the 1st Inning Mike Piazza -- not to mention, Live Series J.T. Realmuto, who I raked with before getting Wieters. All in all, I'm glad they haven't held back the good catcher cards like they usually do.

I haven't seen a single CAP online since the first week. Whatever they did, I love it.
