Every knows he's a terrific catcher, the Sox just aren't given up the #3 prospect on baseball america's list and Pedroia's heir for him. Especially when we have other needs and Vazquez's defense. We can sacrifice offence behind the plate.

Well according to SI Lucroy is the 4th best catcher in baseball which is an absolute joke

Either way, doesn't change the fact the Sox won't package Moncada for him.

Lucroy was a MVP candidate two years ago. He's def the #1 C in baseball

I was talking about the polls we have going on here. Lucroy is 4th behind Yadier even

You can make a fair case for him being behind Perez
Last 3 years

Perez WAR 6.6
Lucroy WAR 9.3

This year

Lucroy WAR 2.3
Perez WAR 1.9

Would love to hear your case that Perez is better

WAR isn't the only stat. By your logic Bogaerts is the best player in baseball.

Lucroy is one of the best defensive catchers in baseball. He's above average in pitch framing and is very good at throwing out base stealers

You're acting like Lucroy is some scrub behind that plate defensively

I'm not acting like that at all. Quit putting words in my mouth.
 
Perez is just better defensively. He has been the last 4 seasons. He's probably the best defensive catcher in baseball.

Lucroy is the top offensive catcher in baseball and top 3 defensive catcher yet Perez is better because he's the best defensive player

I think saying he is the top offensive catcher is a little too much.
