Developing Catchers

I feel some trivia coming on!

I had an idea for a trivia question after reading some Jays-related discussions just now.

By my count (helped out by bb-ref, obviously), there have been 23 catchers to make their major-league debuts as Toronto Blue Jays. Now, you need to give me a bit of leeway with that, because they didn't all stay catchers, and a couple of them who were catchers didn't play that position for the Jays. But still: 23.

Name them!

Hint: Ernie Whitt made his major-league debut with the Red Sox; Ashby and Cerone had been Indians.

Bigger hint: the years they debuted were, respectively, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1987, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.
