I have a (semi) related question about CERA, which ties into the Thole/Dickey conversation. Does anyone know (or have a strong suspicion) if personal catchers actually make a difference in terms of a pitcher's performance? As well, does a catcher's ability actually impact CERA (i.e. other things being equal, will pitchers pitch better to Russell Martin than Josh Thole). IRL, the Jay's pitching staff has benefited from having Martin behind the plate. Just wondering if that crosses over into OOTP...
