His career OBP is 120 over his BA. He hasn't come close to k'ing twice as much as walking. That's hyperbole.
I'll take my chances with a kid who has an excellent minor league track record relative to position over a 37 year old catcher coming off a career year, who's an awful defender to boot. People are letting their love of AJ cloud their judgement.
