I don't think Johjima is bad though. Do I think he's good for 3 years? No. He's off to a poor start, but I don't think he suddenly hit the wall.
I think the important thing to realize about catchers is that they're typically veteran players. Not often do you see a young catcher come in and make a huge impact. Most catchers are probably within the age of like, 28-35. Clemen is only 24 and worse than anything else, you don't want to thrust a young catcher into the fray. It usually has pretty bad results.
Also, the Mets are exploding against the Braves right now. 2 singles, a double, and a triple in 4 straight at bats.
