Following the bread crumbs here...
The best years in M's history? 1994-2003
Dan Wilson's years as a productive #1 catcher in Seattle? 1994-2003
Additionally, Dan the Man wasn't just any catcher but an excellent defensive catcher with off-the-charts communication and leadership abilities.
Since 2004, we've been subjected to the following catching situations:
2005 - cast of forgettables led by an overmatched Miguel Oliva (20 OPS+)
2006 - Kenji Johjima (good offense but poor communication with pitchers)
2007 - Johjima (with declining offense)
2008 - Johjima (64 OPS+)
2009 - Johjima/ overmatched Rob Johnson
2010 - overmatched Adam Moore/ overmatched Rob Johnson
2011 - Miguel Olivo (the human passed ball)
2012 - Olivo/ Jaso
Maybe Karma in baseball is as simple as the presence you have behind the plate?
