My Take
John Baker is exactly the kind of player I gravitate toward. A catcher from Alameda, California who came up through De La Salle High School, he spent his Major League career with the Marlins, Padres and Cubs before moving into the Cubs' front office. Catchers are the quiet field generals, reading the whole game from behind the plate, and Baker's move into baseball operations confirms what a sharp baseball mind he carried. I will always take a thinking man's catcher over a flashy slugger, and Baker is a fine example of how brains keep you in the game for the long haul.
