Give me a catcher with a 75 AS, 75 AA and 50 PC over a cather who has 50 AS 60 AA and 75 PC any day.

Hah, well that's kind of a sandbagging argument because you are comparing 200 total points to 185.

Would you take 75/75/50 over 60/65/75? I probably would take the latter. But I think they are pretty comparable.

Assuming they have a bat of some quality (otherwise we'd be talking 85/85/90) I'd got with the arm over the PC...but it depends slightly on how you've built your team.

Good pitchers don't need the best PC... they'll still be good... but a bad arm WILL give up SBs in bunches.

On a whole, though... you have to find value at every position to field a competitive team.

An all-90s defensive SS will impact the game even without getting a hit, whereas a gifted defensive LF (picture a lefty with 2B-type def. ratings) will likely need to hit more than his weight to justify getting ABs.
