    He would throw it at the base runners head ;)

    As long as it knocks him out its all good.

    I don't think I need to say anything else besides: K.
    I'm ok with Santana over Hanigan if you want to go the offensive route, though his defense is atrocious. Talk to me about how good Gomes is when he has a track record to fall back on. Gomes would be starting over Santana if the Indians thought he was great defensively, because his offensive numbers project way above Santana, sans OBP.

    Carlos Santana is a career .252 hitter lets not act like he's out of this world better offensively than hanigan.

    Yea, Hanigan's career numbers are quite a bit better than Santana's, but Santana has had a good 57 games this year, so he's clearly the better player.

    You'd rather have Hanigan?

    But yet he also averages over 20 hrs a season and a ridiculous OBP. And only in his 3rd full season. His average will only get better

    No he doesn't. He averages 15 HRs a game. He's only hit 20 HRs once in a season.

    That's awesome. Even at half that number he'll have the HR in a season record shortly.

    If I had to choose one, I would take Hanigan. I don't recommend having only one catcher on the team though.
  • Azubuike24
    Of all the arguments you could nitpick on my team, you picked that one. I did consider Gomes, but IMO, Hanigan is very valuable considering the type of at-bats he can give and his value defensively and calling games.

    Then again, we're discussing paper teams here. All of this is subjective and if we're basically creating a video game team, you take the pure talent any day. Despite him being somewhat of a bust, IMO, considering how highly-touted he was, Santana would be the starting catcher.

    Thank you for clarifying something that wasn't asked. I asked which catcher you'd rather have. Didn't ask about 2 catchers.

    All of this just reminds me of the Jason Kipnis > Brandon Phillips talk, haha.

    In his 2 full seasons he has hit 27 and 18 hrs. That's over 20 a season. He has 8 already this year. I'm sure he will hit over 20 this year.

    Talking about your little caveat about 2nd catcher bc you would obv rather have Santana as your catcher? lolfail SE. Continue being a bitter fail boy though.
