Is Piazza the worst catcher ever?

[lander]

Every single, HBP, BB, error might as well be a double with this fudge packer behind the plate.

Cubs 3 SB in 1.2 innings already tonight

Wasn't he supposed to go play outfield or 1st like 4 years ago? He refused to do it and now its going downhill fast. Why wouldn't anyone who gets paid based on offense insist on playing the toughest defensive position?

 

[lander]

No clue Bill. For an offensive catcher, that .210 average isn't turning heads either.

 

[lander]

Upto 4 SB in the game against poop dick.

 

[lander]

5 Sb.

Why would anybody want to catch ? Pizza should go to AL and DH, playing catcher only sparingly as needed.

I remember Todd Hundley was pretty brutal...had a stretch there where he couldn't even throw it back to the pitcher. Anyone remember that?

I don't know Doug. Some guys are pitchers, some guys are catchers.

Or were you referring to his position as a baseball player?

 

[DrunkenHorseplayer]

I heard that he wants to catch so he can break offensive records for catchers.

 

[Akillies]

padres get my vote for worst acquisition by a MLB team for signing Piazza. He is an embarassment.

 

[docmercer--banned]

I know he has screwed some of the best looking stuff out there

Posada is awful defensively

Catching is hard, you have to stop and switch positions later in your career, I can't think of any guys that still catch when they near 40, off the top of my head.

Brent Mayne worse catcher ever, sub 350 slugging pct, ZERO tool player. had a 17 yr career on because he was Left handed AB.
