He never had catcher show up as a position even though my team lists him as a catcher and on his ratings card, it shows the catcher stats as his main stats even though he doesnt have an actual catcher rating. Anyone else have these same results ?

You can't train Arm or any of the individual skill ratings, just the Position Ratings. If the skill ratings suck, they'll never get anywhere at the relevant positions.
If you want an interesting catcher, go with Josh Donaldson (the Live Diamond one, not the historical one). He'll get to a low, but usable level at Catcher. But it's super slow for Catchers...like 4 seasons or so, while every other position is pretty much fully trainable in 1.5-2 seasons if the player is capable of training the position.
