Nothing is as important as the relationship between the pitcher and the catcher. The catcher needs to be the leader. He has to call the game from behind the plate, signal outfield shifts, and infield shifts as well.

Catcher is best served by experience and that is unquestionably John Denney. His leadership and knowledge are invaluable and he can call the changes needing to be made. What he may lack in his bat will be made up of his knowledge of the game.

Starting pitcher is up for debate just like the Dolphins quarterback position. My starter is the young spitfire Josh Rosen. A strong arm will serve him well and he will take the risks. A fastball thrower who can change it up with the needed curve.

My closer must have experience and that is Ryan Fitzpatrick. His 14 years means he will not face anything that he hasn’t seen before and when the final two innings present the chance to shut down the other team, I want that experience.
