I get the power and agree completely.
But Grandal looks like his hit tool is pretty much the same asd is his patience.
It's a great problem to have, really-- two very good catchers. One ready now and one ready next season.

Grandal's average was solid, but he also struck out at a pretty healthy clip, which doesn't bode well for sustainability. And I haven't read anything recently, but bat speed and hit tool were questions about Grandal on draft day.
