Short answer: Yes. Obviously I'm not as in touch as you and the Birdhouse gang, but I honestly think it's not even close. I understand that Anderson is a big time hitter at such a young age, but when talking about catchers (the guy that has an effect on every single pitch of every single at-bat), no bat is as valuable as stellar defense. Also, I didn't get to attend the Winter Warm-up, but I really enjoyed your coverage. “Is Yadi’s defense really more valuable than Bryan Anderson’s bat?”
