Party Boys on top too. I know they traded Biter Trout in the offseason. Is there a solid replacement catcher?

Nordhagen Beach went with their 6th-round pick in the 2306 Draft, Clownie Blammo, to replace Trout. Trout was actually a rolled trade of "starter for prospects." Blammo is 22 and a much better defensive catcher than hitter. Still, with the Boys, he is not bad as a hitter, just not Trout. He's hitting .260/6/24 batting 6th in the lineup.
The Party Boys got LF Boost Widdison 45/56, SP Dixie Williams 20/51, and 3B Dylan Swann 30/49 out of the deal. To help the impact of giving up an 80/80 Trout, the Boys sent a 10th and 12th pick in the 2311 Draft to Starlight for their 3rd pick.
The Boys do have a few of their aging players dropping in ratings, but not necessarily performance. RF Jonathan Angelou would not even be starting except his replacement is out for the season with an injury. Angelou is still batting .305/11/34 from the 7 spot and leads the team in homers.
