He's top ten in the league for passed balls this year. I'm willing to believe that he is better than he was, but he's still not there because he's a great catcher.
Actually, it's much improved from last year. He's becoming a very good defensive catcher to add to his offensive prowess.
I didn't say he was a great defensive catcher. I said he was becoming a very good one. There's a significant difference between the two phrases.
But this isn't something I feel like arguing over. He's playing a big part in the Yankees' performance this year, and that's all I care about.
