Need a catcher?

My selection of Miguel Angel Ramirez in the Rule 5 draft not only gave me the #1 prospect in the game for the first time (I think), but a glut of young, major-league ready catching.

With that luxury in hand, and other needs on my team, I'm looking to deal George Robinson or Bobby Krieger.

Robinson is a 4-star prospect who excelled in both AAA and on my major league roster last season as a late-season call-up. He hits for average and doesn't strike out much. He figured to be my starting catcher before I acquired Ramirez, and would settle in as a platoon partner with him if I don't deal him.

Krieger is a player I've nurtured since I acquired him nearly eight seasons ago when he was a young prospect. Still only 26, he has the potential to start, but is a very capable backup and a good defensive backstop (35.2% RTO last year).

I suppose I could flip Ramirez in the right deal, but I'm looking to hang on to him. I'm hoping to get pitching and more pitching help in return.
