imo. canning arencibia was one of the worst blue jays choices ever. yes he had his bad stat. but theres not many good home run hitting catchers out there. he was a great catch specifically for the blue jays.
what. why. no.
Here's one thing:
Scott Carson @caRSoN_Stats
Since becoming a MLB Regular in 2011, JP Arencibia's .256 OBP ranks him 214th -- or
last -- among qualifying hitters
Not to mention he's a below average defensive catcher. So yes, he will get you the odd HR but otherwise he will have many many more bad ABs and unproductive outs while providing little defensively.
