Why is he not the primary catcher? Every time he plays he seems to have some offensive production, and isnt too bad behind the plate either. Schneider can barely hit, and his defense was supposed to be outstanding, but he has so many passed balls this year. Yes he is getting used to the new pitchers but come on now, i say put ramon as the starting catcher. If he played the majority he would have around 20 hrs and 65 rbi's. You guys with me?

He always gets injured. That's why."I'm happy for [Edwin Encarnacion] because this guy bleeds internally, big-time" -Dusty Baker

They should stick to what they're doing now. Castro doesn't have the stamina to play everyday and Schneider is MUCH better defensively. Look at some of the catchers of WS teams since 1990.
2007: Jason Varitek .255/.367/.421
2006: Yadier Molina .216/.274/.321
2005: AJ Pierzynski .257/.308/.420
2004: Jason Varitek .296/.390/.482*
2003: Ivan Rodriguez .297/.369/.474*
2002: Bengie Molina .245/.274/.322
2001: Damian Miller .271/.337/.424
2000: Jorge Posada .287/.417/.527*
1999: Jorge Posada .245/341/.401
1998: Jorge Posada .268/.350/.475
1997: Charles Johnson .250/.347/.454
1996: Joe Girardi .294/.346/.374
1995: Javy Lopez .315/.344/.498*
1993: Pat Borders .254/.285/.371
1992: Pat Borders .242/.290/.385
1991: Brian Harper .311/.336/.447*
1990: Joe Oliver .231/.304/.360
In the past 16 WS, only 5 teams have had a catcher who was above average offensively.Last edited by NYMets523; 07-22-2008, 10:56 PM."I'm happy for [Edwin Encarnacion] because this guy bleeds internally, big-time" -Dusty Baker

He's not very good at throwing out runners. Last year he threw out 3 of 30. This year he's thrown out 4 of 10. He has a bad back which doesn't help."I'm happy for [Edwin Encarnacion] because this guy bleeds internally, big-time" -Dusty Baker
