Jorge Posada of the Yankees is slowly developing into a solid young catcher—and six-time All-Star Rodriguez is three months younger than Posada. At 26, Rodriguez just keeps getting better. Mike Piazza may want to be known someday as the best offensive catcher ever, but Rodriguez has the whole game. The shortage of topflight talent at the position would be acute if not for Puerto Rico, the cradle of catchers. The small island has produced a boomlet of backstops: Rodriguez, Posada, Sandy Alomar, Javy Lopez and Minnesota's Javier Valentin.
