If the game included a catcher's "handling pitchers" rating, and that rating were used as one of the factors by which a pitcher would sign with a team or not, I could handle that because then it would be part of the fantasy of player personality. But I think the suggestion would be that a catcher's ability to call a game would improve pitcher perfomance on the field. If that's that proposal, I vote strongly against it.

I agree.
