What do you mean by "best"? All-around, fielding, hitting, base-running? He was a hell of an all-around catcher.

I was thinking Piazza. I don't really like the guy, but he is the greatest offensive catcher ever.

Unfortunately, offensive-wise with the statistics to back him up, Mika Piazza is the best catcher ever. Defensive-wise, he's probably in the bottom 1/2 of all catchers. I can't stand him though, I'd give my favorite vote to Pudge.

I'd definitely agree with you on that point, but he is a horrible defensive catcher.

I'll keep Johnny Bench. NOBODY could steal on him.

Johnny "Hands" Bench ended his career with 389 home runs, a .476 slugging percentage, and a .987 fielding percentage. He was the NL Rookie of the Year in 1968, earned two NL MVP awards, won 10 Gold Gloves, pioneered the one-handed style of catching, and was the first catcher to wear a protective helmet behind the plate.

if you had the choice of Pudge or Piazza at the beginning of their respective careers, who would you take??

for me, it's Pudge without even a question.

piazza has better HR numbers but Pudge is better at almost everything else.

Piazza or Pudge
