Good player, hit for average, had a little pop, and above average with the glove. Probably the 3rd best N.L. catcher of that decade, behind Bench and Simmons, well, also Gary Carter, though Carter didn't really begin to emerge until after Sanguillen had peaked and was on the way out.

solid catcher for the 1960's and 1970's Pirates. i dont think HOF when i think of Sangy but he reminds me of those catchers you dont mind putting in there on a day to day basis. one of those missing pieces guys to a championship team
