Carlos Santana or Buster Posey

Who would become a better catcher overall?

I'll have to go with Buster Posey. Proven his ability in first season in the bigs. Better defensively and the defensive flexibity of First Base and Catcher is a plus. I think Carlos Santana might develop a better bat than Posey. Less avg, but high OBP, and more power than Posey. He's also a switch-hitter. Only time will tell though.

I love em both but as a scout once said - never bet against Buster Posey.

Buster Posey being compared to Johnny Bench. It'll depend on how Santana recovers from the injury. I like them both, but of course, Buster is my favorite.
