The Mets solved their catching problem by trading two second tier (at best) pitching prospects for Marlins catcher Paul LoDuca.
LoDuca (pronounced lah-duca, not low-duca) was pretty consistent last year situationally, unlike our last catcher he doesn't seem to hit only with the bases empty.
I like the deal. I think he is the type of hitter the Mets needed, a consistent line drive hitter, not necessarily a big bopper.
Like our last catcher though, he throws out a very poor percentage of runners attempting to steal.

LoDuca is 33 years old.
Gabby Hernandez is one of the top 3 remaining Mets pitching prospects..
I think the deal is bait for turning around the Vazquez trade.
I think the Star Ledger is full of shit.
