He wasn't a terrible hitter before 28, so it's not like it came out of nowhere. He's been a good all-around player from 24 onwards. The OPS jump is pronounced starting in 2011. So what? It looks more unusual because of 2010, but other than that he was basically getting better as he got older. It's hardly unheard of. Catchers do have a late aging curve, but even for them going from "one above average offensive season through age 28" to "Top 20 of all hitters since the beginning of 2012" is extreme. And of course, even that would be easier to bear if it weren't in conjunction with Carpenter, Jay, Craig, and Adams all meeting(if not exceeding) even optimistic projections for their careers to date.
