Of the two, catching and blocking, I think blocking may be the easier (though not necessarily easy!) mechanism to implement at this point. No one knows yet how the game may play but I suspect that a decent blocker could deny an opposing team at least as many points as a decent catcher can score, all else being equal. From what I've seen on CD so far, it's not a common trait, so you might have little competition filling that niche.
I would think they would want to use their in-season time to do other things. As long as there is some kind of mount point, they could build a blocker using their withholding allowance.
