And this is why catcher #2 is my full time starter this year, especially since the Jan 1 adjustments turned this season into a heavy base stealing season. So far, in 48 innings, there have been 2 atts where catcher #1 had 5 in 17 innings.
Now, if people like Johnny Bench and Jerry Grote could import into a 1969 season with better than average arms it would be nice.
