Who's the better catcher?

Varitek or Johjima? I started out the year with Johjima, but he was hurt and I picked up Varitek. I can't justify carrying two catchers going forward, so who should I drop?

Yikes! Tough call. Without looking at the stats, they seem pretty even to me.

Tek is declining (age), faces tougher pitchers, but hits in a more friendly park.

Johjima hits in a tough park, faces not-as-tough pitchers in his division.

Can you package one of them with another player in a trade to a team with sub-par catching? Possibly upgrade a different area of your team? Just a thought.

Ramon Hernandez is off the DL which means I've got to drop Russell Martin, who's been good for me in the mean time. Should I just keep Martin and drop Hernandez or try to trade him?

I would try to trade him.
