If you were wondering who won the team's Drop Drill Contest (I know I read about it somewhere) for catchers, Kottaras was the victor. There's an interesting article on SouthCoastToday about him.
Another thing I didn't know about him: He played fast pitch softball until he was 15 and didn't play high school baseball (because it wasn't an option.)
He's generally had pretty good offensive numbers but lacked in defensive ability. According to the article, though, both Theo and Varitek believe that he could figure out how to be a good catcher.
