Scouting Report

Assets	Defensively he's still one of the best in the game: boasts an exceptional throwing arm and great footwork. Rarely makes a mistake behind the dish. Calls a very good game and leads pitchers very well.
Flaws	Is highly injury-prone. Doesn't provide much offensively (except for the odd home run). Strikes out too much, and has little base-running speed. Doesn't draw many walks.
Career potential	Savvy, defense-first backup catcher.
