The Rangers just threw comparable money, 1 yr anyway, at  Barajas.

Barajas has some pretty good offensive numbers, at least in terms of home runs and RBIs.  And he does throw out a pretty decent number of runners.  Catchers who can hit get paid a lot.  I don't think that the contracts that Ausmus and Barajas can be compared.  They got paid for different reasons.

Good?  Compared to what?  Other catchers?  Maybe SS?  Along with his decent CS%, he has a nice clip of errors, 9 for the season.  Oh, and that tied for league lead for errors by a catcher.  Yep, those offensive numbers sure are nice....

Dude.  You wanted to know why he got paid a lot of money.  It's because he hits more home runs than most catchers.  So far as catchers go, he hits well.  Hitters get paid.

  Yeah,  21 bombs will get a little money for a catcher.  And at least the since for a one year deal.
