I saw a thread from about a month ago about the All-Time Greatest Players league. If there is an official update, I have some suggestions that you may keep in mind, or dismiss as you see fit. But if you dismiss it I want the full offended look/handwave treatment. But I'll settle for a haughty laugh. Anyway.

2. A more relaxed standard are catchers would be good so some more catchers could be made available. Some of us like making teams based on actual franchises and the catching position is a bit difficult. Seattle only has one catcher, excluding some guys that played only a year for the Mariners. Someone like Dave Valle would be useful here. (Milwaukee is low on catchers too, mainly because BJ Surhoff is rated as everything except that position.)
We're going to be adding a bunch of new catchers to the online game and I was planning on including at least some to AGP. I haven't seen the list of players yet so I don't have any specifics. I'd like to put out an AGP2009 later this year after v10 is put to bed. There are lots of current players who have passed the usage threshold since 2006, plus, like you said, there's a shortage of catchers compaired to the other positions. Catchers either don't last as long or move to another position.
