After he retires, I hope he will be back as pitchers’ coach! He is very awesome at coaching the pitchers. Some pitchers are little crazy, but Yadi told them to relax and how to controlling their pitches. After that, they were getting better and they won the game!!! He’s better than Maddux. He’s okay, but Yadi is a lot better than him.

@DakodaOK5 жыл бұрын
To be fair, Hamilton had already stolen two on him that day - that's why Yadi was looking up at the end with a smile and raising his arms. He was saying, "Finally!" That said, I'm in agreement, Yadi's one of the greatest ever at his position, if not the greatest. The standard "blah blah blah Johnny Bench, blahblahblah Buster Posey" crap comes along every now and then, but Yadi does a bit of everything too well for the average catcher.
@groovygrover51115 жыл бұрын
Yadi's throw to 2nd is so incredibly consistent. It seems every throw down starts from his left and trails to his right and it makes even his short throws easy to handle for middle infielders. As a high school kid, I had the same kind of throw and my middle infielders always told me that the way that ball comes from their right to left made it easier for them to apply the tag quickly. So... I think this is why he seems to have a great CS numbers and is so hard to steal against. However, I still feel that bases are stolen on the pitcher and not the catcher. Molina seems to be the exception to that rule. Whether from his feet or his knees, the man is just a model of consistency. I don't think I have seen any player on any team that is such a defensive force. Since I am a lifetime Cards fan, I absolutely love this guy and I think that he is absolutely the best defensive player at any position all-time. With his offensive numbers going up as he gets older, he really should be considered one of the all-time greats at any position. Yes, I believe Molina to be underrated and I feel he always has been. First ballot hall of famer? I believe so.

He was, I think. Rodriguez dominated the 90s. Molina picked up the mantle after Pudge started declining and is still a cornerstone at 35. Pudge was a total package offensive + defensive threat, and Molina adds so much value handling pitchers and adjusting defensive strategy. Two of the GOAT defensive catchers I've gotten to watch in my lifetime.

At least Yadi will never be suspected of substance abuse. He plays as cleanly as a catcher can. Still catches an insane amount of innings per year, still a pretty solid defensive throw-out rate, and he's hitting more for power these last few years because speed caught up with him.
