The Rock Star catcher is Chris Iannetta.

First of all, I would thank you guys for the 17 total votes, a record for my site on any poll.  It makes the process worth it.  Secondly, I am ready for five years down the line when hopefully Wilin Rosario has eclipsed Iannetta for the top spot on this list.  Iannetta is a good player and was a very good Rockie, but he also is the main reason I do not judge OBP as a great factor in a good player.  He has a career OBP of .357 (which looks good), but a career batting average of.235 (which doesn't).  On the surface, getting on base 35% of the time is a good thing, but you have to factor in that due to his low average he batted 8th a lot.  This meant pitchers often pitched around him to get to the pitcher's spot.  Unfortunately, I think this will be exposed in the AL with Angels.  But it doesn't matter if I am right or wrong, because according to all the numbers, Chris Iannetta is the best catcher in Colorado Rockies history.

I'll be back a little later with the foregone conclusion that is first base.
