Estrada's Case

David Lennon at On The Mets Beat writes about Johnny Estrada and why he would be a good catcher for the Mets(to see the full article use the link above):

Maybe Estrada didn't have a great success rate throwing out runners last season. Neither did Ramon Castro, for that matter. But here's a few factoids to consider before urging the Mets to dump a prospect or two for Brian Schneider, Gerald Laird or Ramon Hernandez.

Anyway, here's what our FOTB pointed out:

In 2003, with Javy Lopez as primary catcher, the Braves had a 4.10 ERA, 12th best in baseball.

In 2004, when Estrada took over, the Braves had a 3.75 ERA, No. 1 in baseball.---- The Braves improved their ERA by 0.35 and their ERA rank by 11 spots.
