And it's a double edged sword, because the "one" pitcher in the MLB that could play catcher probably isn't that great of a pitcher, and a guy with a 5+ ERA normally going up against All-Star quality hitters is a recipe for disaster.
I also think it's not as tough to pitch as you guys think. These guys won't be laboring trying to blow heat by guys. They'll just be up there Nick Swisher esque trying to throw strikes without lobbing the ball over, most pitchers won't be able to crush the ball consistently, that's why they're pitchers..
