Figured I'd get my second catcher on deck here before everybody notable is scooped up.
With my 22nd round pick, the Wailing Wahoos select Ray Fosse, catcher.
Career w/ CLE: 1967-1972, 1976-1977
Career Stats w/ CLE: .269 BA, .709 OPS, 50 HR, 230 RBI, 117 2B, 10.7 WAR, 2x All-Star, 2x Gold Glove
Fosse is regarded as one of the best defensive catchers in Indians history, and after doing a bit more research on him, he's in serious contention with Yan Gomes to actually be my starting catcher.
In 1970, Fosse slashed .307/.361/.469/.830 with 18 HR, 61 RBI, 17 2B, 124 OPS+, 5.2 WAR, a gold glove, an all-star appearance, and a 23rd place finish in AL MVP voting. That season, Fosse threw out an astonishing 55% of would-be base stealers (league average that season was also high at 39%).
JDailey's two picks are on the clock. I'll get them out as soon as I can do a bit of research on behalf of his team.
