Catcher A vs. Catcher B vs. Catcher C

Let's compare the following 30+ year-old catchers anonymously, before revealing their names:

2008
Catcher A: 429 PA's, .276/.319/.394, 87 OPS+, 7 HR, threw out 32% of runners stealing
Catcher B: 384 PA's, .257/.339/.367, 87 OPS+, 9 HR, threw out 33% of runners stealing
Catcher C: 157 PA's, .245/.312/.441, 96 OPS+, 7 HR, threw out 22% of runners stealing

Projected 2009
Catcher A: .268/.303/.394, 10 HR
Catcher B: .247/.328/.360, 8 HR
Catcher C: .249/.318/.442, 13 HR

A few hints, which should give away who they are. Catcher A is a future Hall of Famer and current free agent, who has expressed an interest in playing for the Mets. Catchers B and C are currently on the Mets, and their contracts expire after 2009.

Catcher A is Ivan Rodriguez, Catcher B is Brian Schneider, and Catcher C is Ramon Castro. They're all pretty similar as the numbers suggest. What's the point? That there's no need to sign Rodriguez, unless it's for a very cheap and Castro and his $2.5 million contract can be traded. The chances of the Mets signing Rodriguez seems remote anyway, but this shows that he wouldn't be any kind of significant upgrade over the current situation.
