Talk:Top ten catchers of all-time/@comment-Steaksammich-2006051793602

MetsJets, I agree with your comment, but I just had to correct one point. Wakefield never demanded a personal catcher. The reason why Varitek doesn&quot;t catch him is because, according to the Red Sox, catching a knuckleball is physically and mentally draining. And they want to keep him as fresh as they can to keep his bat going all year. Mirabelli just happened to be good at it so that was just one more reason why Wakefield has had a personal catcher in recent years.
