The best- and worst- fielding catchers in baseball

Devil Fingers gives us his chart, and we can compare that to the Fans.

The answer for “best” seems to be Gerald Laird or Yadier Molina.  Laird was #1 for Devil and #3 for The Fans, and Molina was #1 for the Fans and #5 for Devil.  Ryan Hanigan of the Reds was #4 for Devil and #4 for The Fans.

As for the bottom, you have a few to choose from, among the consensus: John Buck and Miguel Oliva (both Royals), Mike Napoli (Angels), and Josh Bard (Nats).
