No statistical analysis suggests that this happens. BP in the book Baseball Between The Numbers has a chapter on the absence of the catcher effect. It was interesting to note today that Varitek sat out the game against the Yankees even though it was a Matsuzaka start. Seems that Victor Martinez's offense was more valuable.
I'm sure some catcher effect exists but there seems to be no reliable way of measuring it.
