Making Your '00 Face: Catcher

With the '00's almost behind us, it's time to take a look back and work together to make a BCB All Decade team for the '00s. Each day, we'll tackle a new position, and we'll have our 25 man roster complete sometime around the 1st of the year.

The concept here is pretty simple. Each day, I'll give you a list of candidates: For position players, it's the full list of players who appeared in at least 100 games at the position during the '00s. Here are the players we've selected so far:

First Base: Prince Fielder
Second Base: Rickie Weeks
Shortstop: J.J. Hardy
Third Base: Bill Hall
Outfield: Ryan Braun

Voting for center field opened yesterday and will close at 4 pm tomorrow. Today we'll unveil the candidates at catcher:

Really? An early vote for Kendall? REALLY?

Be cool, and relax. Take a breath, take ten paces back.

NOTA

Is there a none of the above?

Rec'd, because it's true.

Where’s the “McGehee played a few inning at Catcher in college, so let’s stick him out there and see what happnes” option?

I was expecting

A 2004 election joke there

C. Magruder scored, R. Weeks to second on balk

by alkaseitzer on Dec 14, 2009 3:38 PM CST up reply actions  

C'mon

This better be a 90% Damian Miller win. BESIDES the fact that he’s a wisconsin dude, a nice guy, and seemingly genuinely heartbroken to not be catching for the brewers, he also delivered in some clutch moments and I never remember a conversation about batting the pitchers 8th when he was our everyday catcher.

Interestingly

I think the Brewer catcher with the highest OPS from his slash line was just non-tendered.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

by roguejim on Dec 13, 2009 5:32 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah

I’m assuming I’ll be voting for Rivera as the backup catcher.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

by Kyle Lobner on Dec 13, 2009 6:07 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah

Damian Miller all the way.

Moeller's line is a thing of beauty

Some of the backups might make better choices.

by TheJay on Dec 13, 2009 9:37 PM CST reply actions  

I guess you're forgetting

that he hit for the cycle once.

I wonder where that compares with other teams. What was the average WAR for the MLB catchers in the ’00s per team compared with salary and salary as a percentage of team payroll.
