"Arencibia might not reach his potential in a Blue Jay uniform"

[KingKat]

CS rate has a lot more to do with the pitcher than the catcher. Trying to infer anything about Navarro's arm based on CS% in backup catcher innings wouldn't be wise.

 

More specifically, Navarro catches a lot of Buehrle starts and Buehrle is, without exageration, the best at controlling the running game.

Just imagine if he could do that for a year. He has a WAR of 0.9 in 14 games and only 37 plate appearances, so he would have a WAR of 9 in only 370 plate appearances (about 80 full games) - http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=697&position=C

 

Arencibia has a wRC+ 231 since being called up from the minors by the Rays. Even his fielding has been a positive.

He's stuck out 38% of the time and hasn't walked in 37 PA. It's not exactly a sample size worth talking about.

 

He's run into 5 HR. No secret he has power.

Over 14 games he has a higher average than OBP.

I wondered this also, so I looked it up. From Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-base_percentage

 

For small numbers of at-bats, it is possible (though unlikely) for a player's on-base percentage to be lower than his batting average (H/AB). This happens when a player has almost no walks or times hit by pitch, with a higher number of sacrifice flies (e.g. if a player has 2 hits in 6 at-bats plus a sacrifice fly, his batting average would be .333, but his on-base percentage would be .286). The player who experienced this phenomenon with the most number of at-bats over a full season was Ernie Bowman. In 1963, with over 125 at-bats, Bowman had a batting average of .184 and an on-base percentage of .181.

that's like saying think of what Arencibia could do after 370 PA after hitting his first homerun in his first AB for the jays. You can't seriously believe your sample size is large enough

No one attempts to steal against Buehrle, though, which is what really makes him good.
