And it's a lot easier to find a .861 OPS at 1B than catcher. There were 16 first basemen this season with an OPS higher than Martinez's, but only one catcher. An .861 OPS is an .861 OPS, but when you have a guy who can play both positions, offensively he is exceedingly more valuable at catcher. It's not even close.
