Ranking the Brewers Catchers of the 2000's

Ranking the Brewers catchers since the year 2000 seems like a daunting task. It seems as if the Brewers have brought in an endless supply of amazing catchers. Names like Keith Osik, Paul Bako, and Chad Moeller are some of the legends that come to mind. All of these guys would make Bill Schroeder proud. So without further ado here are the Brewers top catchers of the 2000's.

1. Johnny Estrada - Johnny is by far the best hitter of the group. He may not know what a walk is but he makes very good contact.

2. Damian Miller - The real life Jake Taylor. Miller may be old but when called upon he gets the job done. He also does a very good Geoff Jenkins impersonation.

3. Eddie Perez - While on the Brewers Perez posted a .271 batting average. Eddie Perez = domination

4. Mike Rivera - Rivera proved to be a pretty good hitter in his short stint with the crew, now he's got an OBP under .300 for Triple-A Nashville.

5. Gary Bennett - Bennett provided solid defense for the crew to compliment his .224 batting average. He also won a World Series ring last year. Gary Bennett is a winner.

6. Chad Moeller - Chad Moeller hit for the cycle. He made Ben Sheets. What has Sheets done since Moeller left? Enough said.

7. Henry Blanco - Blanco may not be the greatest hitter but his defense gets Bill Schroeder drooling.

8. Paul Bako - This gritty battler has played for nine different teams in his legendary mlb career.

9. Raul Casanova - 3 years of catching with the Brewers in the 2000's. How many guys can say that?

10. Keith Osik - Osik knows how to draw walks. He posted a .342 OBP with the crew. That's higher than Johnny Estrada's. Hmm... maybe this list should be reversed?
