Lowest PC used for a regular C in Colorado? Topic

currently I'm sacrificing the stick to go with Cory George and his 90 PC but he's getting long in the tooth........I'm looking to acquire my C of the future and am struggling with the PC that I'm willing to accept.........I didn't think I'd want a regular with less than 70 PC in Colorado, but I find myself thinking about a trade for this guy - Tommy Jordan.    

thoughts?

I think stud outfielders are more important that pitch calling @ Coors Field

PC would not bother me, though many disagree. His arm strength and accuracy are problems for me. As are his range and glove. He will have lots of passed balls and other teams will run all over the base paths against him (23% caught stealing for his career). Health is a concern and he is 28 with a 45 makeup, so expect a swift decline in power, arm strength and durability. This is not to say I would not play him, because I would experiment with him while retaining a strong defensive catcher to back him up or replace Jordan if he does not work out. But you are talking about trading for him, and I expect the other guy think highly of him and will want more than I would ever give p for Jordan, particularly because he enters his final arb cycle next season and is not signed long term. Overall, I would trade for him but I would not trade away much for him.

Jordan really, really needs a platoon partner/late inning defensive replacement.  Paired with one of those guys who is a top defender and doesn't completely suck against LHP (like George, only with a somewhat better bat, they're prevalent at the major league minimum in most worlds) you' d have a good combo... but I don't think that Jordan's bat carries his glove when there's a lefty on the mound.

Jordan is going to OPS close to .900 for you in Coors, or more.  George may save you runs with his PC ("may" becaue two years ago his CERA was no different that Vila's..and he has a 54 PC), Jordan will certainly generate a ton more runs.

it's a good move.  Find a BU Catcher with a PC above 75, who hit's lefties better than righties.  Start him the 25 times a year you will need to not start Jordan and use him as a late-inning defensive replacement.
