I guess when I think about it I've never noticed a difference between one catcher and another when it comes to how often they secure those.
Tony Cruz still sucks though. I'll be he sucks at catching foul tips as well.

It can be a study for the hardcore sabermetricians out there, the correlation between OPS/War/whatever and percentages of foul tips caught. Every other damn thing is analyzed, this might as well be too.
