So I can't move him to first, I have 2 excellent 1b options that have bats only just a small notch down from where he is at and I'm already struggling to decide which of them to keep. There is no DH unfortunately.

This is for my online league, the player is King Kelly and he's got 80 potential in all 4 hitting categories. He's obviously not a stud at 3B, but he's better there than at C. However, there are no great catchers (defensively) in the league, he's only 15 points behind in catcher ability (20-80) scale compared to the best in the league, and only 2 catchers even hit that number. So he would come in as a league average catcher, despite his lack of prowess at the position.

The concerns about durability worry me enough though that I think we'll keep him at 3B for now, although we may use him at catcher in the playoffs, that was a good idea.

Part of this is driven by the problem that my 2B I used this year doesn't really have the range there but would make a pretty good 3B and there are far more candidates to trade for a middle infielder than at catcher unfortunately.
