Whether these guys actually hurt your pitching if they don't have catcher eligibility, I don't know. What I do know is that a good arm at C is very important. Even a lefty thrower behind the plate can work, as I've seen in the past with Mojo and now with O'Conner, though obviously I'm hoping the latter doesn't hit .209 (or below) again.

His fielding a C was far better than anywhere else considering his atrocious fielding (see minors for more data). This dude started all over the place before i got him and started permanent move to Catcher.
