Take a stroll down memory lane with me for a moment. The year is 2009, and the great Catcher Wars are raging. Whether you were on the side of incumbent Yorvit Torrealba or the rising newcomer Chris Iannetta seemed to say more about you as a person than it did as an analyst, that is, depending on who you were disagreeing with on which should be the primary catcher. The debate ended when Torrealba left before the 2010 season, but it was an uneasy peace.
We could have another iteration of Catcher Wars on our hands, as the Rockies are set to break camp with two very talented yet very different catchers ready to split time as the primary catchers in 2017.
