Piazza's 400

Metsblog.com comments on Mike Piazza's 400th home run. Piazza's place in the Hall of Fame is pretty well cemented, so this milestone is simply another reason to vote for the catcher.

However, that greatness appears to be a thing of the past. Piazza so far is not hitting for average, nor is he getting on base. The hits go for extra bases, but they don't come very often. The Padres did a poor job this winter of stocking their catching corps. And the Mets did the right thing replacing Mike with Lo Duca.

Piazza may be on the wrong end of the spectrum, as far as active catchers go - but let's not start annointing Paul Lo Duca as the answer just quite yet. He's no better than Piazza this year, but I think he's getting paid more to play. And he wasn't better than Piazza last year, either.
