With Posada behind the dish our pitchers have a 6.19 ERA…and Cervelli a full 2 runs better at 4.11. I know it’s been talked about…and pitchers like him catching. Now I’m not saying Posada should take a seat to Cervelli…but at least keep Cervelli in the Bronx and have Molina giva piggy back ride to Kevin Cash, Angel Berroa to the A’s or something. Personally I like watching Cervelli catch…he calls a great game, has tons of energy and is holding his own with the bat and has come up with some big hits n the clutch. It will be very exciting to see the Tandem of Cervelli and Montero/Romine.

YOU’RE a solid number 2.

Meh, yawn. I’m over it, blast away.

Don’t worry. You’re a perfectly acceptable fallback option for the ladies if I’m unavailable/tied up/passed out/in Vegas/dead.

You’re like Wes Mantooth, you’re a solid #2.

It always ends somewhat like that. Sigh.

We could split and resplit this hair over and over again for 50 comments, or we could just cut to the logical conclusion of it:

I’m more handsome and attractive to the ladies than you are.

There, it’s settled. Pleasure working with ya.

Yeah, no doubt. But don’t you think it’s a little more “oh no, they have 2001 Pudge, or 2009 Kenji Johjima, behind the plate” and a little less “oh no, one of the guys on their staff is quick to home?”

Oh, it does count for something…but not helping Jorge throw out hitters

It helps control the running game, though, by making guys take shorter leads because they need to hedge their bets more.

I mean, speedy players lick their chops when they have the Indians on the schedule because they get to run on Victor Martinez, not the Indians’ pitchers.

It’s probably both.

Speedy players scout both poor throwing catchers and slow to the plate pitchers, and lick their chops for both of them.
