Reply to "How Big are Catchers that got Drafted?"

Ive seen studs behind the plate that were 5'9 and kids that looked like Tarzan and played like Jane. Size will get you a look but when they look you better have some game to go with it. Also how many kids are listed at 6'0 and are really 5'10? Alot. I cant tell you how many people have said "Boy your son sure has great size behind the plate". It means nothing unless you can back it up with great play. The stats posted really dont show anything because the heights used are rarely accurate. How many of those 72" inch catchers are really 70" kids? I bet they got drafted because they could flat out play and not because of their size.
