1. Crash Davis (LAD) Last Ranked-4
Had arguably his best season at age 36, hitting .332 and blasting 35 homers to jump 3 spots on the list, should easily surpass 450 career longballs this season.
2. Roy Campanella (SEA) LR-1
So far his play with the Mariners has been below his usual standards, but, with over 400 career homeruns, he is still dangerous, and the previous owner of the top spot will not fall far.
3. Joey Mauer (KC) LR-3
Won the AL batting title 2 years ago, and had his first 20 dinger season a year ago. Still just 25, he has many great seasons left in his career.
4. Brandon Inge (CIN) LR-2
Now has over 250 homers in his career and nearly drove in 100 runs in 2027.
5. Matthew Lecroy (PIT) LR-8
Crash Davis was the only catcher to hit more homeruns over the past 2 seasons than LeCroy, including 37 in 2027.
6. Bill Dickey (DET) LR-7
Outstanding fielder, with a consistently solid bat, hopes to continue strong career with Oakland.
7. Cooper Walker (CHA) LR-6
Posted career highs in RBIs (78) and runs scored (63) last season.
8. Javier Cardona (HOU) LR-NR
Just traded to Colorado, he hit .308 with 19 homers last season.
9. Josh Phelps (CHN) LR-NR
Pure power hitter who left the yard 29 times last season, but will never be confused for a gold glover.
10. Bobby Hall (MIL) LR-NR
Career .294 hitter, mashed 24 homeruns in 2027.
Honorable Mentions: Ozzie Virgil MTL, Jason Phillips SF, Jesse Gonder FLA,

In real life, a catcher is one of if not the most important defensive positions. How he handles pitchers is huge. what isn't clear is how that translates to Habla. I have a suspicion that fielding isnt as important for a catcher in Habla as it is in real life. Arm strength is definately important however.
Isn't it sad that their is just one really good young catcher in Habla? Their are a handfull of guys over 30 on the list that are good, but they will retire in a few seasons. Mauer is it for the next generation of good catchers.
to defend my boy Phelps, he has made ZERO errors in 555 career games
These guys aren't all in their 30s yet. Lecroy won't be 30 for a whole 5 more weeks yet. He's a spring chicken!
Seriously, though, 17 year old Ray Fosse and 16 year old Frankie Hayes should both be terrific players someday.
Actually you cant tell if Phelps has made errors or not. Correct me if I'm wrong BBProers, but I'm pretty sure there is a glitch in the game where if a player is playing out of position, it doesnt record his errors in the stats comumn. That many games without an error would make him the best catcher in history!
