S21-40 All-Time Wrigleville Team, Catchers

Catchers:

First a quick note - the listed players are ones who were sent to me and ones that I picked by looking through various league histories.  If there's a player you feel was missed, let me know ASAP via TC and I will get that player added to the list.  Thanks!

1.  Edgardo Benitez :  One of our younger nominees at just 30.  He's played mainly from S35 to current.  He's won three WS titles and has been an All-Star.  He's a masher, having already hit 240 HR's while posting a career .566 slugging % to go along with his .911 career OPS.  He calls a good game too, posting a C's ERA of 3.73.

2.  Ren Chang :  He enjoyed a really good 15 year career, from S20-S34.  Chang enjoyed a career slash line of .300/.413/..500 - giving him a career OPS of .913.  He topped 2000 hits, 1000 runs, 1000 RBI, and 300 HR's.  I should probably list him as a DH, as he played over 1300 games there to just over 500 as a C.  He's a ROY winner, 5 time All-Star, 4 time Silver Slugger winner (3 at DH, 1 at C), and he once hit for the cycle. 

3.  Ryan Monroe :   He played from S16-32.  He slashed .286/.351/.489 over his career, good for an OPS of .840.  Monroe had > 400 HR's, 400 2B's, 1100 runs, 1300 RBI, and 2300 hits.  He played just over 2000 games at C.  He was mediocre at best on defense.  Through it all he won one Silver Slugger and appeared in one All-Star game. 

4.  Joakim Quinilla :  He played from S16-S33.  Career slash line of .278/.350/.520 for a career OPS of .870.  He appears like he was THE catcher.  Mashed >600 HR's , scored nearly 1400 runs, > 1600 RBI, >2500 hits.  While not a strong defensive player, he did actually appear in > 2000 games at C.  If I counted right, he played in 7 All-Star games, was a two time HR Derby winner, and won six Silver Slugger awards. 

Well, that's what I've got for catchers.  Please check this out and if I missed someone deserving of a nomination, I'll get them added.  We will then vote!  Voting will take place as follows:  simply send a TC to me with your top two picks.  The highest vote tally becomes your 1st team player while the 2cd place finisher is the 2cd team guy.  This will be the format for every position group.  Pitchers will be similar.
