I did forget about Napoli! He would be a good choice as well! His weaknesses are the power vs RHPs and his weak arm. He is up there with the others I mentioned.
-
A Signature or Retro Finest Posada would be on the top of my list. He has a great swing and tough finding a ton of switch-hitting catchers with some pop.
-
Piazza. Take your pick. His 88 or his TO.
-
It’s gonna be hard to find a better hitting catcher than Napoli.
-
Yadi has been solid for me. Switched from Contreras who had taken the place of Piazza who obviously had more pop but could not throw anyone out. Contreras defense was suprisingly lack luster. Yadi has solid contact with occasional pop and is not as slow as he has previouly been.
Biggio I think could be a viable option and he is free. Although he is not the Biggio from a couple of years ago. I really am intrigued with the new Bench card. Stats wise looks comparable to Piazza but Bench has pop time which is huge. I unsure about his swing though. But Bench also has position flexibility if you need that. Kirk was too slow, Cartaya is solid but I ended up selling him for almost 100k. Hard to invest that much in a position with either free or much cheaper options that are stated similarly. -
I personally love Kendall. Plays over his attributes. Nice surprise drop today.

Kendall huh? Imma try him out.

Napoli is an absolute beast. Don't sleep on Monthly Realmuto with solid 85/79 speed and steal. His hitting attributes aren't amazing but like last year he plays above them.
Yadi has been playing well for me so far, so have Kirk and Contreras. Can't get Piazza going.
Also, unless you hate FS cards- Henry Davis is a great choice.

I bought Kendall last night just to try him out, 10 at bats 5 hits with two home runs. Plus he hit a home run against both sides. He really could be a sneaky pick for a top ranked catcher. Especially with good contact and vision,great speed and 95 blocking. He has a pretty nice swing too.
-
I’ve hit well with the FS catchers — Davis, Langeliers, and Bart in particular. I haven’t used Melendez or Cartaya but they’re probably worth a shot.
-
Best catcher IMO is Biggio but you get extra swag points for rocking Molina or Piazza, and negative swag points for rocking Bench or Carter.

In our Custom DD league we've had running for a few years, Kendall has been a staple on my teams. Glad you enjoyed the test drive.

All I can say is I’m mind blown. 11 at bats with 3 home runs, 2 against righties with 69 power. 🤯

I agree with Monthly Realmuto, was really surprised how well I hit with him and that speed is nice from the catcher spot.

I bet you're loving that Napoli card. As the commentators love to say, he's turned into an absolute beast. He almost destroyed us in the 2011 WS too.

Almost...tear runs down face (white dot tears)... almost..goes to room, closes door, gets in bed and slowly pulls covers up... almost

Johnny Bench 99 card.

Yeah if you want the best hitting catcher it's Napoli BY FAR.
For a balanced catcher, I love Future Stars MJ Melendez. His defense is right up there with anybody and I love his swing.
Only problem for me is I kind of need to start a righty catcher since my lineup is already lefty-heavy.

Hahahahaha, I admire your sense of humor. Obviously I was happy with the way that ended but part of me knows you guys should have won. I REALLY wish you had won in 2010. What an elite squad that was.
