Paul Loduca or Jorge Posada?

Question

which one is better c, Posada or Loduca?(actually)i have to pick one for my fantasy baseball.

Answer 1

Posada - and it's not close.

He had a bit of a resurgance in 2006, and I am sure he will regress in 2007, but he did hit .277 with 23 home runs and 93 RBI last year.

LoDuca hit .318 with 5 home runs and 49 RBI. Posada would have to have a significant injury in order to not put up those numbers and even then, if he played in only 100 games, he'd probably have more than 5 home runs and 49 RBI.

To be fair, LoDuca did score 15 more runs (80-65) than Posada, but that was solely based on hitting in the #2 spot in the Mets lineup. That will change in 2007 as Randolph has been trying out David Wright in the #2 spot so far this spring.

I fully expect Posada to put up better numbers accross the board, with the possible exception of batting average.

Answer 2

I would pick up Posada.

Posada has a better line up. (get more rbi's and get more runs) IN a better BallPark and is on a better team which will obtain more wins.

Posada's stats 80 25 85 3 with .276
LaDuca stats 80 10 60 0 with .293

Same runs more homers for Posada and Rbi's same ammount of Gimmie steals.

LaDuca will have a better average thou.

Stick with Posada

Answer 3

It depends on the needs of your team. both are good catchers. if you need it for batting average and defense go with lo duca. but, if you want a guy who will give you power go with posada. its almost a gimme for 20 hrs 80 rbis w/ posada.

Answer 4

I'd pick Yadi Molina, myself. But Loduca is younger than Posada, who is pretty beaten up. Go with Loduca.

Answer 5

LoDuca cuz hes on the METS and there going to get more wins plus hes better offensively. Not a great homerun hitter but hes always on base

Answer 6

posada he is a switch hitter

Answer 7
