so have jorge posada and mike piazza Thanks, I was waiting for someone to bring that up. Posada's and Piazza's teams had a lot more chance of making the postseason without them than the Cubs have with Barrett. Even though those two aren't /weren't the smartest or best defensive catchers, their numbers were better than Barrett's to justify their bad defense and poor plays. Can't say the same for Barrett. I don't disagree. Many times Barrett's been entirely passable, IMHO. He's just playing like an extra special bonehead lately.
