Who's the better catcher?

Varitek or Johjima? I started out the year with Johjima, but he was hurt and I picked up Varitek. I can't justify carrying two catchers going forward, so who should I drop?
Yikes! Tough call. Without looking at the stats, they seem pretty even to me.
Tek is declining (age), faces tougher pitchers, but hits in a more friendly park.
Johjima hits in a tough park, faces not-as-tough pitchers in his division.
Can you package one of them with another player in a trade to a team with sub-par catching? Possibly upgrade a different area of your team? Just a thought.
