I've always operated under the impression that a highly rated defensive catcher would help a pitching staff. Specifically the arm rating to help limit the running game and the 'catcher ability' rating kind of being his rating when it came to overall defense, game calling, framing, pitch receiving, etc.
I've never been someone who runs sims just for testing purposes, but in my many years of playing the game yes this seems to hold true in my experience.
they won't make bad pitchers magically become good pitchers, but over the course of 162 your staff ERA should benefit
