Interesting, because Kershaw had a 3.07 ERA but 4.60 xFIP in April that year

Nah, the rumour according to Morisi, is they're trying to move Andrus. Yet, in this circumstance Profar or Odor make sense.

Rays DFA Jose Molina

Ike Davis DFA

Rays DFA Jose Molina

 

does he want to be a back up? lol the jays could have the 2 best framers in baseball.

This is not as crazy as it sounds.

[King]

Alex, do it!!

[o2cui2i]

Martin and Molina with no Pikachu or Thole... our pitching staff would be looking a lot better. Molina would only have to catch once every 8-9 days and pinch hit a little.

[o2cui2i]

wouldn't cost the team anything. Molina would be cheaper than Navarro and he'd probably take a back up role without being a girl about it.

Ike Davis DFA

 

 

Lol I remember getting into it with some Mets fans when the Dickey trade was happening and there was a million rumours over a weekend before it became official.

 

So many of them thought he was a future stud and completely untouchable.

It kinda is. Molina is old as s*** and just can't hit at all haha.

not all that important from the backup C.

[Ziggyy108]

not all that important from the backup C.

 

Fair enough.

[o2cui2i]

Fair enough.

 

If healthy Martin will catch 140 games. that only leaves 22 for the backup. I think Molina could work that out.

You math is bad.

 

Dickey + Thole 33 games

[o2cui2i]

Dickey wont get to have a pet this year. Russell will be catching every game HE wants too. They have already alluded to Russell catching Dickey and Russell is a control kind of guy. it will be his call and Dickey will have to park his ego.

 

Not that I could understand why Dickey ever had a saying in who catches him. especially after Thole showed that he wasn't very good.

His bat has gone really downhill. Thole is probably a more talented hitter at this point in Molina's career.

I just think it's an interesting idea. lol... especially when AA referred to Molina play at 40 in one of the media scrums today.

[Captain Adama]

Refer to zeros post above, you're acquiring him for his catching skills, not his hitting skills. Still worth more that Thole on defense alone.

Molina is garbage. Much better guys to target for backup catcher. He is brutal at anything offence related and sucks at blocking pitches. He is going to be even worse than last year.

I get that you like Molina's defence. But he has no more pop, very slow, awful at putting the bat on the ball. Maybe his framing is good but you can get younger, more useful backup catchers for a dime a dozen which is why they DFA'd him. I mean do you really want to carry a 40 year old backup catcher on the roster just because of his defence? Terrible idea IMO.
