“He's a great catcher from what I hear. With Gregg Zaun, we have two of the best catchers in the league.”
A.J. Burnett
“If you watch the game, you know why. He's the best defensive catcher we have had here. Defensively, he is a playmaker . . .”
Clint Hurdle
“(Utley) still had enough to take the catcher out. That was the best part of it. He'll get down and dirty.”
Jimmy Rollins
“He's one of the most underrated players out there. Defensively he may be the best catcher in the game. There really aren't too many others I'd rather have.”
Mike Matheny
“To me, he's the best [catching teacher]. I don't think anyone is better with catchers.”
Joe Girardi
“He was a catcher who couldn't hit. He was best known for his arm.”
Paul Snyder
“He's been the best catcher we've had in the 15 years I've been here. He brings that smartness to the game as well. He really calls the whole game and he handles our pitching staff well.”
