Might we see a #2 go down in this one?

Lombardi was better at the plate, but Carter was far better behind the plate. With it being cathcer, I am going to have to go defense and vote for Carter.

Power- Carter(close)
walks- Carter(not close)
SO- Lombardi(not close)
BA- Lombardi(not close)
oWAR7- Carter
oWAR- Carter
OPS+(best seasons)- Carter
OPS+- Lombardi
Career longevity- Carter(3000 more PA)
defense- Carter(not close)

Offense is close, Lombardi was a better contact hitter and was better at getting hits, while Carter was better at getting XBH and getting walks... whoever gets the edge here it is a slight edge... I guess, i would give the edge to Lombardi...

Defense for the catcher position is the most important skill of a catcher, and here it is not close at all... Carter is arguably the best defensive catcher of all time, with a dWAR7 of 18.2 vs 2 and a total of 25.5 vs 2.9...

Carter wins in a no contest!!!
