I thought I saw this asked but had not seen an answer from anyone who had done it. Has anyone tried an A/A catcher at SS?
Someone needs to start an all-Catcher league, with nobody having secondary positions....
Could be entertaining...
Hmmmmm or maybe a league where each division is all a particular position (C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF) and then see which position ends up winning
IIRC, while it wasn't division specific, there was a league a few years back where you had to clone a single player to form your entire group of hitters. Because of the lack of catching in the league, Rickey Henderson dominated and easily cruised to a pennant... until he ran into Jimmie Foxx in the World Series who could actually throw him out. So I suspect there would be a sort of three-way matchup metagame: base-stealer teams crush all non-catcher teams, who get crushed by catcher teams, and catcher teams lose to teams that actually have good hitters in the field. (I'm presuming catcher is the weakest offensive position, which might not be totally true, but it's certainly weaker than a lot of them.)
