He won't be for very long if comments like these get out there.
from Yahoo Sports:
Wilin being Wilin? Rockies catcher swinging bat with ferocity of his boyhood idol - Yahoo! Sports:
LOS ANGELES – Dante Bichette, the Colorado Rockies' rookie hitting coach, was endeavoring to explain how Wilin Rosario reminds him of Manny Ramirez, how innate bat speed meets God-granted power meets some other mystical denomination.
Rosario himself sat 20 feet away, rolling the handle of a bat from one hand to the other.

His stats from last year were not too shabby and he's off to a good start in 2013. Thirty-eight HR's and 98 RBI's in a little over 500 AB's is pretty good. Any advantages gained by hitting 1/2 the time in Colorado are balanced out by having to squat behind the dish and handle a pitching staff.

This guy looks like he could be challenging Posey and Molina for that C spot on the NL All-Star team before very long. Maybe this season.
