Making Your '00 Face: Backup catcher

PrintWith the '00's almost behind us, it's time to take a look back and work together to make a BCB All Decade team for the '00s. Each day, we'll tackle a new position, and we'll have our 25 man roster complete sometime around the 1st of the year.
The concept here is pretty simple. Each day, I'll give you a list of candidates: For position players, it's the full list of players who appeared in at least 100 games at the position during the '00s. Here are the players we've selected so far:
First Base: Prince Fielder
Second Base: Rickie Weeks
Shortstop: J.J. Hardy
Third Base: Bill Hall
Corner Outfield: Ryan Braun
Center Field: Mike Cameron
Corner Outfield: Geoff Jenkins
Catcher: Damian Miller
Voting for a our first bench spot opened yesterday and will close at 4 pm tomorrow. Today we need to select a backup catcher. I've narrowed the list a little, removing three players who did not receive significant support in our initial vote:
Seasons as a Brewer: 2, 2000-2001
Slash line as a Brewer: .222/.303/.268
WAR as a Brewer: 0.6
Seasons as a Brewer: 4, 2006-2009
Slash line as a Brewer: .260/.333/.423
WAR as a Brewer: 0.6
Seasons as a Brewer: 1, 2007
Slash line as a Brewer: .278/.296/.403
WAR as a Brewer: -1
Seasons as a Brewer: 2, 2008-2009
Slash line as a Brewer: .244/.329/.315
WAR as a Brewer: 2.1

Uhhh...
Pass?
Really, though, I had to vote Mike Rivera. I couldn’t force my finger to click the box next to Jason Kendall.

Seconded
And beyond that, Rivera did a pretty nice job as a Brewer of being effective in this role.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Good call chuck
I pass
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
Kendall
Just to piss him off and put him in a back up role.
It would also help with team GRIT

I think Estrada and Kendall would be excellent in a sitcom together

But I'm a run-scorer. I score runs.

For Rus the Mus. I bet he could handle being a back-up catcher and it sure doesn’t look like he is going to make the team as a back-up infielder.
BCB, the preferred above replacement level sarcasm supplier.

Rec'd again
Simply as I haven’t mentioned my man-crush on Russell for at least a couple of hours…
"I hope your name is Rick"
Blanco!
Easily the best defensive catcher out of the bunch (a fact I’m assuming isn’t expressed in the WAR total)
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Catcher defense isn't included in WAR
and I think this helps my hypothesis that folks here would be happy to just vote for the highest UZR player at every position.

I had to vote for Rivera
But I incorrectly assumed he didn’t play 100 games in the decade with Nedly as his manager……
Personally, I think we got hosed on that one! - Harry Doyle
Can I vote for Casey MeGhee?
SCREW YOU GRITTY & Johnny “Double Play” Estrada!
