2007

The organization`s first true catching prospect, Iannetta earned his call-up on August 26 by hitting a combined .336/.433/.567 at Double- and Triple-A. After starting out 2-for-22 with the big club, he had a nice September showing, hitting .261/.381/.406. Those rates reflect his skills; his ability to get on base is more developed than his power, which leads to some odd comps in PECOTA; you might be better off thinking of him as the new Jim Sundberg. Given the traditional low standards of Rockies backstops, he`ll be a Denver revelation.

2006

Iannetta`s glovework initially got all the attention, but since it`s an inviolable law of the universe that a catcher cannot be praised simultaneously for both his defense and offense, his surprising bat has led to increased talk that he`s only an average defensive backstop. He`s a catcher who`s mastered High-A ball at 22, won`t have to move from behind the plate as he moves up, and hits for power with patience. Everything else is just commentary.
