Talk:Top ten catchers of all-time/@comment-DNL-2006051774153

I disagree with your statement the catching, as a defensive position, in unimportant. However, I think the basestealing aspect is overrated. A catcher has to do other things well -- catch tough pitches, block the plate, handle pitchers, sometimes call pitches, etc. -- that are defensively important, but not considered in the basestealing numbers.  I&quot;d put Carter higher and Fisk lower, too.
