Catcher Overview - 3/2/1987

Here are the catchers on the 40 man roster, the ratings are Overall/Potential:

Lance Parrish (60/60)
The former GM signed Parrish to a 6 year contract at 1.5M a year that starts this year. He hit .257 with 22 HR and 62 RBIs. The scouts report that his defense and arm are above average. This will help with a young staff. His contract demands that he will part of our plans for at least this year and next. Then I will most likely try to unload him, unless his offense does not decline and Daulton does not develop.
Darren Daulton (20/40)
Daulton hit .225 with 8 HR and 21 RBI in 50 games last year. On a plus side he had 38 BB vs 41 Ks. My initial instinct was to start him in AAA so he could play every day and develop. but he is out of options.

Here are the non-roster catchers that will be invited to Spring Training:

John Russell (20/20)
Russell has .241 with 13 HR and 60 RBIs in 90 games last year with the Phillies. He had only 25 BB against 103 Ks. He is an above average defensive catcher, who can also play 1B and OF. He will challenge Daulton for the 2nd catcher spot or hope to win a utility role.

Here are the catchers prospects in the organization:

None
There are no catchers with a potential above 20 in the minors. It is pretty barren and I will scour the waiver wire and FAs for catchers for AA and AAA.

Positional Plan:
After Lance Parrish and Daulton, it gets pretty bleak. I forsee Parrish keeping the job until Daulton is ready. He will most likely be the backup due to having no options left.
