How dense are most people? Pap is easily the best Catcher behind the dish. Early part of the season you get a ton of guys playing time. If anyone is exceeding expectations you allow them the chance to overtake the starter. Pap's bat struggled the entire year because he was trying to be a freaking switch hit. He has struggled, but is sure-handed enough behind the plate where you suck it up. Unless Coomes is as solid behind the plate as Pap, there is no chance we will give up passed balls and extra bases due to poor defense behind the plate.

Coomes is a very athletic catcher with a strong arm and offensively he adds a lot of firepower to the lineup. Pap is a great defensive catcher that has struggled at times with the bat, but hopefully that will improve this year. At the end of the day LSU is in good hands at the catching position.
