I'd bring up many posts about his defense and how he would never be a catcher, but I'll resist.

I was curious why he Sox didn't call him up to the 40-man roster in September. Could it be that they view him as their catcher of the future, and didn't want to start his arbitration clock?

September call-ups don't have their clock stated, IIRC. Clock starts when you get added to the 25-man roster

Maybe because of his .680 OPS in a hitters park at AAA.

Its a nice feat, but as others have pointed out, he has no offensive ability. He won't be leaping Flowers anytime soon

Defense is important and requires a lot of different skillsets all firing at the same time, but hitting will always be king with defense a distant prince. Even the high skill position of 2B is populated by hitters that are expected to drive the ball with power.
