Does this Projected Overall make sense? Topic

Why would this guys projected overall be 38 (what I am showing) ??  Do you think he is a good player?  Why or why not?  He is a catcher/DH and 20 years old.

Because his durability is 17; he might be able to play one inning a game.... probably less...

BUT, if you can afford the spot on your roster, he looks like a good pinch hitter.  He could probably fill that role with 17 durability, I think.

Durability of 17 is what's bringing his OVR down so low.  You'll see that a lot for catcher with great offensive ratings but low OVR.  It's almost always the DUR.

He's not an everyday player.  Part time catcher / pinch hitter.

And I think catching causes players to fatigue quicker than other positions, so he's a late-inning replacement.  But, yeah, I could probably find a roster spot for him.

A good comp for low durability out of a catcher and how much playing time you can get him.  I'm in the AL with that team, so don't worry about pinch hitting too much, but I can get him about 160 at bats a year, probably up to 200 if I pushed it, but like him as my starting catcher in the playoffs.

You're guy has a better bat, and would be better suited for the NL in my mind, especially if you had a high durability catcher that could start every day, and allow you to use this guy as your main pinch hitter.  He should be able to fit in 162 pinch hits a year if you used him for 1 at bat every day, but ideally (and realistically) he'd be good for about 100 pinch hit appearances, plus a handful of starts to rest your other catcher.
