[QUOTE="IntenselyOrange, post: 1217876, member: 4888"] It depends on the bat. You certainly don't keep Bryce Harper's bat behind the plate. On the other hand, the Giants have had success with Posey playing quite a bit behind the plate. These are of course outliers. The real question is what to do with a guy who is a + hitter for a catcher, but only an average hitter at 1B. Coincidently, I remember people questioning Posey's ability behind the plate (Lucroy too). I can't remember whether it was with regards to their being ready to play at the MLB level at a young age, or in terms of long term ability though. [/QUOTE]
