I've resisted entering this idiotic debate that came up on my facebook feed... "Best catcher in MLB history? Between Bench and Yogi... you do you think?" Just about every Stl moran chimed in with "No catcher has ever been as good defensively as Yadi, plus, he brings a top 5 bat with him. Look at his numbers. They don't lie." (ok, so that's kind of a compilation of the comments) Yadi is good, but as far as recent catchers go, Pudge was better defensively, wasn't he? Definitely offensively. And Piazza is the best offensive catcher, right?
