Catcher depth

This may have been brought up...

But, I think a rating for catchers such as "handling pitchers" would be a good idea. For instance it would make a difference in a pitcher that gives up 5 runs in the first, and a high rated catcher could "calm" him back into a solid game...or perhaps a rookie pitcher would do better overall with a strong catcher.

Might be neat if there was some sort of "chemistry" build between a pitcher/catcher combo. I know there have been cases of RL pitchers only wanting to work with a particular catcher. Creates a situation where a manager might have a better overall catcher to start, but you ace doesn't pitch worth a hoot unless you have your back up .180 career avg catcher in the line up.
