First time HBD Player Needs some eval help Topic

I'm trying to figure out who to resign and it seems as if all my  decent hitters can't play the field whatsoever and are catchers.  I'm in the NL.

http://www.whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=1716100

To me, Rivera seems like a monster DH vs LHP but he can't really play the field(unless what HBD shows on position editor isn't actually a good chart).  So this guy doesn't have a ton of use on my team, but could play catcher.

Wilkins is another catcher who mashes LHP.  He is wanting 4 mil

Another catcher, Clark, who has much better Leftie splits, much better defensively.   He is wanting 1.6 mil

Then there is this guy who hasn't played in the majors yet

Benetiz is also on the 40 man but doesnt seem like he'd ever contribute

All of the guys you've listed look like pieces of crap..

Darron Walsh is ok.  All the rest are terrible.  Most of them are also the same guy that you posted multiple times.

Your roster does have several DH-only types who can hit a ittle bit, but are all better against lefties.  You have a few decent position players, though.

ah crap, I'll try to fix it, I believe it is now fixed. If you guys can take a look again, I'd appreciate it

Yeah, Rivera, Wilkins, and Walsh can all hit, but none of them can really even Catch.  DH-only for them.  And you're in the NL.  Time for 3 trades.

Clark is worth keeping as a platoon Catcher. He has above average defense and pitch calling. The other 3 are DH trade bait and you are right about Benitez but I would keep him as a AAA Catcher who you could call up in case of injury because he is a good pitch caller.
