The catching position has to arguably be our weakest. In fact, the franchise doesn't appear to have
had one at all of any great caliber. Here is a look into who we have, and how much they can help. I am
listing ages for Opening Day 2012, as 2011 is toast. Stats for Catchers are through August 21st, 2011.

Sadly, Hui might be our best Catcher. Yes, he has a barely over .500 OPS. That's how sad it is. He
could be the worst starting catcher ever in fact. He was in AAA for most of this season, but our
Opening Day Catcher (Theissen, below) struggled so bad we called Hui up. Not much to say here.
Also, pathetically Hui is our 8th best prospect. Ouch.
Current Impact: 1 out of 10
Future Impact: 2.5 out of 10 (if he reaches 8 in contact)
