Pap is better at the things that don't show up on the stat sheet such as framing pitches and handling a pitching staff. Things that the coaches keep a record of in the dugout but doesn't show up to the fan watching the game. Romero isn't a bad catcher at all he is actually very good. I would say Pap is slightly better at blocking balls and quicker from mitt to release on the throw, but Romero has the better arm. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having 2 quality catchers and that will help LSU come post season play.

Honestly, I don't think there's a right or wrong call, it's just a preference. Some coaches are willing to go with the better hitter and sacrifice a bit on the defensive side, some are not.

CPM is apparently one of the latter.
