He fits the criteria pretty perfectly.

Anybody that can hang around for 18 seasons with a career WAR of 8.1 is doing just enough.

Agree.

His 1980 season is slightly problematic with the 4.1 WAR and the top-10 MVP consideration, but that was an extreme outlier and outweighed by the other 17 seasons of sustained mediocrity. Zero black ink. Maybe fewer ABs than ideal but there’s allowance for a catcher. I had no idea he stayed around that long. I would have guessed 7 or 8 seasons.

Welcome Rick Cerone! Well done mediocre and faithful servant.

there is a danger the HoSM will be flooded with Catchers
