In light of the the Rangers getting Lucroy (who is a good catcher, don't get me wrong), I started to think about truly 'great' catchers. Guys who had amazing arms, could bat .290 plus, and/or hit 20+ homers a year. And do that over multiple seasons.
Have we had any of them since Pudge and Posada?
Is the position not just regarded as highly as it used to be? Maybe it was because I played little league in Arlington, but I always considered the catcher the premier position behind the pitcher (FIFY protected)
