    Default Trading for a Catcher

    Is this ever a good idea?

    Thinking of.making an offer for Ramos and a pitcher for 3 of my guys, one being JTR

    My options: JTR, Profar, Duvall, Thompson, Ozuba and a pitcher Walker Pomeranz or McCullers.

    He has Ramos and then one of Hamel or Kluber.

    Good catchers (in terms of offensive production) are tough to come by. They all are just pretty average and for that I wouldn't give up solid pieces just to get a mediocre producer even if he's tops in his position.

    Long story short, I wouldn't do it. I'd play the waiver wire game for hot hitters and maybe nab a C prospect. For what its worth my catchers are Sal Perez and Alfaro. Perez is ranked 4th in our league stats and his numbers are a .272 25 RBI 29 R 7 HR.... not exactly earth shattering.

    I agree with the general point here that the catcher bit shouldn't be your primary focus of a deal unless you're getting Posey/Lucroy.
    If you can manage to grab Kluber for any combination of 2 of the other guys you listed, then that is a yes. Hamels it would depend on the package going the other way, and the catcher swap is just a cherry on top of the deal.
