Ruiz might’ve been the most underrated piece of that era. The guy was outstanding defensively, there may not have been anyone better at handling a pitching staff, and he had a very patient approach to hitting that was often undervalued. He didn’t have the sexy numbers like Howard’s home run totals or Rollins’ 20-20-20-20 line in ‘07, but he was one of the most integral parts of that success. Of course Phillies fans know this, but he wasn’t as celebrated as other guys were at his position during his era.

Chooch went from an offensive liability in 2008 to one of the best hitters on the team in 2010. He lead the Phillies in both batting average and OBP that year. By 2012 he was easily the best hitter they had. He lead the team in BA, OBP, and slugging. He was always a very good defensive catcher, despite being a second baseman until his mid 20’s. Roy Halladay had an exact replica of his 2010 Cy Young award made for Ruiz because of how much credit he felt Carlos deserved for his history making season. Plus he was money in the playoffs. Senior Octubre was an earned name.

I’m always amazed at not only the play Carlos made to finish off Doc’s playoff no hitter but the velocity he was able to get on his throw from his knees. That is an incredibly hard play to execute especially under those circumstances. Legend!!!

God I miss this little fella! It took us so long to find another great catcher. All the way until realmuto . But I remember having complete confidence in chooch every game.

The Phillies have had a lot of great catchers from Boone to Dutch to Lieberthal but Chooch was the very best!! (and NO!!! Lance Parrish doesn’t come close to being considered as one of the best catchers in Phillies history!!)
