While this might be a good idea for fictional leagues, I don't like it because it would distort historical league simulations. Historical pitcher's effectiveness, (i.e. their stats) have already been determined/effected by their catcher's ability to call a game.

Secondly, a major part of a catcher's effectiveness is his ability to call pitches based on his knowledge of the opposing hitters. Would catcher's ability to call games mean we have to throw out the pitch-by-pitch feature? (I'm not sure if it's been revealed if the pbp feature includes calling the type and location of pitches.)
