I saw Jeffy25 list Brian Downing as a catcher, which is a serious stretch. I loved Brian Downing when he played (though, to be honest the morphing into the Incredible Hulk thing was a tad bit suspicious). But he played more games both at DH and LF than he did at catcher. Also, he only had the one real good year at catcher in '79. Otherwise, all of his real value as a player came in the 80's when he wasn't catching anymore.
