I think defensive catchers are pretty underrated. I won't pretend to know the ins and outs of calling a game, but it seems crucial and having a catcher than can limit baserunners is obviously important. And Fivethirtyeight just did a writeup on how valuable Posey is with his ability to frame (so much so that the article is basically making a claim that he might be the MVP).
Not sure I would compare him to Conger when the context is certainly a long term view, and it's hard to imagine him getting in in 2016 anyway. Conger's a pretty shitty baseline since he's a stopgap/backup catcher that is an okay hitter. If he shows signs of promise that would be great, but would hate to see us build a team around the concept of him being a Catcher for the long haul if it's not the optimal move.

SPeaking of framing. That was congers big asset. His best "tool". I have liked conger as a backup catcher but I haven't noticed this at all.
