Depends on a bunch of other stuff too. Pitching, defense, ballpark. I took a team to the WS with a 42 PC catcher, he was top three in OPS on the team so I needed his bat in the lineup. That team was tops in the world in all major pitching categories that season, 3.26 ERA, a full half a run better than the next closest team.
So if I'd started a 72 pitch caller would I have given up over 100 runs less than the next best team? Seems hard to believe that could happen.
Bottom line, I had other things going in my favor and his bat was worth not worrying about the PC.
In a different park I might change my mind. I've got a team in Yankee Stadium right now, my C is second on the team in OPS and has 99 power but again, 42 PC. And it seems like every game is a shootout, 10-8. Why isn't he my DH? Because I've got a DH who's also got 99 power.
