[MVP2]

I've been gone a while ad looked through a few threads. This one caught my attention. There are a lot of good catchers in the 14th. Pelfrey has impressed. I've watched him a couple of times. Hogg has not impressed me. He does too much running while on defense and it wears him down towards the end of a ballgame. Runners an steal on him as well. Shuler is OK. But, again, you an steal on him. Timmy Baker, is probably the best. Good arm speed, hard to steal on, and an get things done offensevily. One catcher that I haven't seen mentioned is Brandon Smith from Knott. I was at the Broughton's Got Milk tournament at Johnson Central a few weeks ago. Knott played the opening game and the last game on Saturday. First game was against George Rogers Clark, I expected a blow out in 5, but GRC had to use their bat to get runs in. They only stole 3 times. Twice the 2 baseman was in a bad position and the other the runner got a good jump. Knott played Powell in the last game and Knott used a 8th grader as the catcher, why, I don't know. In the 5th they changed pitchers and put Smith back behind the plate. No run even attempted to steal. Smith gets a lot of respect on the field.

1. Baker
2. Smith
3. Pelfrey
4. Shuler
5. Hogg

No way smith is the 2nd best catcher, Pelfrey and Hogg is better imo but I only seen baker once and by that, hes the best.
