Nah.... Think that's from the TV series Bewitched.

Yup

I’m over 55 and not sure I remember this - but could it be the Marx brothers.

Calling Dr. Bombay, Calling Dr. Bombay, Come right away.

No one under the age of 55 will likely understand this.

OK, I'm convinced. I'll vote for 1 catcher slot and 2 UT.

[Cigar]

Well sure, but stick him behind the plate and I suspect base stealers would run on him.

He still might have thrown out more than Wilson Ramos.

I get the being burned part. Its just a lot worse in a draft and hold. I think it was Pb last yr. He took Sal Perez and lost him for the year and had backups for the rest of the year basically. That kinda changed my mindset on it in this format

Alas, that was probably the least of that team's problems. Despite that disaster among disasters, I still tend to like two catchers, but I'm happy either way. The world's a dangerous place. You draft a good catcher; he gets hurt. You draft an ace pitcher; he gets hurt. You draft mid-level pitchers; they all stink. You draft a bunch of really good batters; they all stink, then get hurt. You draft some closers; they all lose their job. And those were the *highlights* for that team.

I suspect that Hank Aaron (at age 85) may have been able to hit 10 HRs last year.

Last year, with the HR explosion there were 32 catchers that had 10 or more home runs...catching is not as weak a hitting position as it once was.

I'm not a purist - I don't find getting a second catcher or a backup any fun at all. Taking the top 15 catchers plus one or two backups each pretty much exhausts the pool of usable offensive players at the position.

Just saw the PM and this thread. If there’s still another slot left, I’m in.

Calling OT!

[Cigar]

I"m OK either way re: 1 or 2 Cs.
