Not really defending Olivo, as I've maintained that both he and Buck aren't the best, but...
From the All-Star break in '07 until now, Buck has hit 8 HRs. His first half of '07 seems to be anomaly.
Also, to claim that Buck blocks well is laughable. Like most ML catchers, he usually stabs at the ball and when he does try to get his body in front, which isn't often, the five hole is almost always open, and this is where many of his pitchers' "wild pitches" end up. Olivo generally does a better job of squaring up the ball.
