I think damag hit the nail on the head (it is you I'm quoting this time right?)

I can get a 'defensive catcher' in the 5th plus round of the draft but often that is a guy with 90+ pitch calling but with no arm (mid to high 70's). I don't see too many catchers that are high 80's to 90's across the catcher defensive ratings very often. If I did, I'd take him in a heartbeat.

i'll still take 1 of this guy on every team:

but that's about as good as it gets.

Hockey, that makes me feel better about keeping this guy as a LH platoon.

Which guy? The link only goes to my player.

i have this guy:

play against lefties and Williams plays against righties. I'd prefer to have one big bat but we are rebuilding right now. So it works.

Sorry, this guy.

Oh man, Wilson goes right into my lineup VsL pitching and as a late round sub. I'd be holding on to him until I find someone with a bit better arm (Always looking for 80's in a defensive catcher) but he'll hold out well now.

For Williams on my team, I don't mind that he can't hit. I play in San Diego so my strategy is defense first at CF, SS, 2B with a platoon for my C with one that can hit, one that can field. The caveat with my SS, CF and 2B is that they either have to be able to walk, or steal bases. Bonus if they can do both. Then I put my money into pitching and need 1 guy on the team at either 1B or a corner outfield that is an all star hitter (On base over .350 with 30-50 homeruns a year). Most of my games are won 1-0 or 2-1. Its not the most exciting but it is sustainable. Right now my team is about .500 because I'm only mediocre at pitching and don't really have that big bat. Unfortunately guys like that are very difficult to find.

I had a good def C vR (his vL was 4 so a must platoon) and let him go for the supplemental draft pick and replaced him with this guy, but I have a solid, not great Def C as the backup and starter vL. I've always been defense first at C so we'll see how it works out!

Do you guys put any emphasis on range/glove for your Catchers?

Not in the slightest. Arm strength, accuracy and pitch calling only.

You can't have the best at every position so you have to make concessions. But, if you can have the best at all positions, find another world. You're in 'tardtown.
