Quick Question About Bengie Molina (and catchers in general…)

Posted by Paul Moro on Friday December 11th 2009, 11:19 am - filed in Diamond cuts

Reading this defense of Molina on Mets Fever, I came back to a sincere question I have that keeps reoccurring.

Who are the catchers that do not call a good game? Who’s terrible at this? If we are to assume that some guys are the cream of the crop (in this instance, Molina), then there must be those at the bottom, right?

This is one instance where I’m not trying to be a jerk at all. I’m honestly curious. Fire away with suggestions.

Crowdsourcing the Greats: The Top Second Basemen of All Time

I can’t say I’m surprised, considering it’s the BWAA, but still, when it came down to it, I was actually pretty sure that Roberto Alomar was going to get into the Hall on his first ballot, if only because he obviously deserves to be in and because the ballot was so thin this year, at [...]

Crowdsourcing the Greats: The Top 10 Shortstops of All Time

Barry Larkin should go into the Hall on the first ballot (although he probably won’t)

Larkin had the complete package. An outstanding hitter with an .815 career [...]
