No dude, according to that one Cardinals fan, molina's .216 batting average is in no way indicative of his hitting prowess. Duh.

.216 is almost like .220, which in the NL Central is like a .320 in any other division.

Yadier Molina is the worst hitter in the NL. Jeff Suppan is average. You're in denial and your opinion means nothing because you're the least objective fan i've ever seen post here.

He was obviously the worst hitter as a starter in the 2006 regular season in his 2nd year as a full-time starter. But he's going to hit better next year, and my bet is around .250-.260. Never said he's ever going to be a solid hitter, but he'll definitely be better.

Stop acting like you think you know everything by looking up stats on ESPN and pretending like you know what you're talking about.

at least there's some logic to what he's saying. you're saying a dude's gonna up his average by 40 points but giving no logical explanation as to why.

[mikeford]

okay so replace 6ers with wizards and my point still stands. the wizards are just arenas and the JOB squad

He hit .252 in his first year as a full-time starter. You can't judge him just based on his 2006 season as his 2nd year in the full-time role. I've seen him hit, and I really don't think he's as bad as his 2006 indicated. Sure, I could be wrong, but I really think he'll hit between .250-.260.

It just looks awful to go on some stat website and think you know what you're talking about without really ever seeing the player actually, ya know...play.

if you can't judge him just based on his second year, why can you just him just based on his first year?

and your misunderstanding of stats is just silly. i can go to a website and see somebody's a .216 hitter. by seeing him in person, does that make him a better hitter? no, his average is still .216 whether i see him or not. that whole argument is just fucking dumb.

He's convinced he's as awful of a hitter as his .216 average when it was his 2nd year as a full-time player. He hit .252 the year before, and yet he's still convinced he's going to continue to hit .216 for the rest of his career. He's never seen him play to make a judgement on that, it's stupid.

Note that no one ever said he's going to hit .216 for the rest of his career; but he DID hit .216 last year, which made him the worst hitter in the league.

He's never actually seen the guy play, and thinks he knows what he's talking about when he says this shit based on one shitty year (his 2nd year as a full-time starter). No, Yadier Molina will probably never win a hitting award, but I think he's going to really improve on last year.

I'm sure if the Pirates continued to play Burnitz he would have killed that average.

Molina is one of the best defensive catchers in the league. He's still learning on the offensive side of things. He's only 24 years old.

Burnitz actually has some pop though.

Not only does Yadier Molina hit .216, but he has no plate discipline and no power. So essentially, he's useless.

You're right, I shouldn't judge him on his 2nd full season but judging him on a rookie season makes tons more sense. Please.

And there's not much to see when a guy puts up .216 avg/.274 OBP/.321 SLG. I haven't seen him play as much as you have, clearly. However, in baseball, the most numerical game in the american culture when you ACTUALLY CAN judge a player on stats. I know that may shock your fragile little mind, but you can judge players based on their stats. his career .238 average seems about right with what he'll hit for the rest of his career.

....Show me a starter in the NL that had a worse average than Yadier Molina. then I'll concede that he wasn't the worst hitter in the NL. I know he's not a .216 hitter for the rest of his career. However, .230-.240, though an improvement, still isn't ANYTHING to brag about as a MLB hitter.

However, he's one of the top 5 defensive catchers in the Majors and I'll take him in an instant because of his youth and defensive abilities/arm.

But he was the worst hitter in the league. case closed. to argue that is ridiculous. But then again, that'd still be on par with your arguments.

You seem dense. I agreed that he was the worst hitter in the NL in 2006. I just think he's going to improve to a .250-.260 average next year, and you make that seem as if it's ridiculous. I realize I may be wrong, but to judge his career on one season (when he hit .252 for his first year as a starter) at his age as you seem to be doing seems ridiculous.

So you're judging it on his rookie year, yet I can't judge it on his most recent season when he should've been improving as a hitter.

Interesting.

I'm judging him based on what I've seen from him as a player, including his first season as a starter. He also did a pretty good job as a backup to Matheny.

I'm also admitting I may be wrong in my judgement. But from what I've seen in his career, I really do think he can improve to a .250-.260 average next year and not be such a dead bat in the lineup.

i just don't get what your reasoning is as to why he'll improve like that as a hitter. the whole "judging him based on what i've seen" argument is just not that strong. based on that, i could say "chien meng wang will go 30-3 this season because of stuff i've seen from him." it's a ridiculous argument.

When Molina first came up he was seen as great defensively with the potential to consistently hit near .270 every year. This is likely what he's judging him on. It's impossible to know how good he'll be based of his first 2 seasons. He definitely has the potential to be solid offensively.

i'm not saying he won't--it's just when a guy's hit below .260 for 2 years, it's hard to see that especailly when the argument is basically 'because i say so."

[Split2nd]

He's not going to be solid, although I think he'll hit around .250 next year. His value will always be defensively, he has absolutely no offensive upside.

Some assclown made a bet with me on another forum that Yadier would be better than McCann in the major categories (AVG, HR, R, RBI) this year.

oof

Read it again if you have to, it's not just "because I say so". I admit I could be wrong. But with the potential he had coming up from the minors, with his year backing up Matheny, with his first year as a starter, I'm not going to let 1 bad year determine what he's going to do with his career. I've followed him a lot closer than you have, and really think he has the *potential* to do what I've said next year. That's not hard to follow, I hope you get it this time.

i get it but i still don't think just watching him is a valid argument. if i were to say "i think jeff karstens is going to win 10-15 games in the major leagues next year because of what i saw from him in his few starts and you can't really make a judgement because you didn't see those games," chances are, you'd look at his numbers and call bullshit on me.

That 4 game stretch or so where he had the game winning hit twice with one as a grand slam was amazing.

That being said, you'd be hard to find many catchers who hit worse than him. But I wouldn't mind having him back as the back-up to Molina.

and also, a guy batting .252 in his rookie year isn't HORRIBLE but when he regresses nearly 40 percentage points, i don't see that as becoming a better hitter. i'm not saying he won't but it just seems like your reasoning as to why he will become a better hitter isn't even logical.

How the hell is that so hard to understand? I realize he was awful in 2006. He had a good year as a rookie backing up Matheny, and had a pretty decent year as his first year as a full-time starter.

my only problem is that you offer NO tangible evidence as to why he'll improve as a hitter. none at all. i'm not saying let's judge his whole career on two shitty hitting seasons but when he regresses nearly 40 points after another year of experience, it confuses me as to how he's gonna be a better hitter this year.

and yes you are just judging him on how you've seen him hit because it comes up in every single one of your arguments! you say we can't say anything or we don't know what we're talking about because we haven't seen him. that's your only decipherable argument and it's a completely irrational one at that.

the potential argument is also empty as it is strictly potential. i have the potential to get an A+ on my art history exam tomorrow but it's probably not gonna happen as i got a B- on the last one i just took and the fact that i've yet to study half of the material. molina HAS the potential to be a better hitter, yes, but the fact that he's hit .252 and .216 in his career doesn't really show me that he's gonna get better. i still think he will be one of the better catchers in the league due to his outstanding defense, though.

and yes you are just judging him on how you've seen him hit because it comes up in every single one of your arguments! you say we can't say anything or we don't know what we're talking about because we haven't seen him. that's your only decipherable argument and it's a completely irrational one at that.

the potential argument is also empty as it is strictly potential. i have the potential to get an A+ on my art history exam tomorrow but it's probably not gonna happen as i got a B- on the last one i just took and the fact that i've yet to study half of the material. molina HAS the potential to be a better hitter, yes, but the fact that he's hit .252 and .216 in his career doesn't really show me that he's gonna get better. i still think he will be one of the better catchers in the league due to his outstanding defense, though.

I think he's going to hit around .260 next year. I never said he's going to win any awards. I've said what I've needed to say about 2 out of the 3 seasons he's been up in the big leagues plus what the scouts were saying about him as a player in the minors. I don't need to say anymore. And PLEASE, I know part of my argument is from what I've seen from him as a player, but it's not my whole argument at all. I'm not going to guarantee anything. I'm telling you what I THINK he's going to do. You're totally skewing what I'm saying, and it's incredibly annoying to keep replying to this. Please, stop replying to my posts on this. The argument is dead.

it's also incredibly annoying to see someone offer no sort of tangible evidence as to why he believes the guy will hit better.

and i'm not skewing anything you're saying--it's in every one of your posts and seems to be a relatively big part of your argument.

i think molina will probably hit better than .216 next year because, let's face it, it's almost hard to hit that poorly, but i don't htink his average is gonna jump up back towards .250 unless he hits like he did in the playoffs which probably isn't going to happen.

he's never going to be known for his hitting and if i were a cardinals fan, i honestly wouldn't care because of how great his defense is and how strong his arm is.

Oh I did asswipe.

You're not gonna win so give it up

[thejetstolehome]

The guy is a scrub. Stop riding the dicks of the cardinals. Theres a reason why the guy is a backup catcher.

wait...what?

wasn't he just admitting that the dude isn't a great player? or are you just being really facetious? anyway, i so shouldn't be posting on AP when i have a fucking art history test tomorrow. shoot me. time to start studying. goodnight, all.

haha you're being sarcastic, right...? i'm so lost in your little mini argument.

My argument based on why I think he will hit .250-.260 next year:
What scouts were saying as a prospect in the minors
His first year as a back up to Matheny
His second year as a full-time starter
What I've seen from him in his entire career as a hitter

Your argument:
He hit .216 in 2006, so he must hit around there for the rest of his career

No, he will never be known for his hitting. And his defense is outstanding. I'm just saying I don't think he'll be such a dead weight in the offense next year. I'm not saying he's going to win any awards.

"That being said, you'd be hard to find many catchers who hit worse than him. But I wouldn't mind having him back as the back-up to Molina."

What part of that don't you understand?

1) i never said he was gonna hit that poorly his whole career.
2) you say it's unfair of opponents of your argument to judge him on two years but you can judge him on one year? i don't get that.

whatever. i have more important stuff to do right now. congrats to the cardinals on the WS. molina played his ass off and could go down as one of the best defensive catchers of this era.

EDIT: can one of you two explain what you're fighting about? i'm really confused by it.

You're judging him on one year. I'm judging him on scouts, 2 years in the majors, and what I've seen from him. He's not as bad as his .216 average in 2006. .250-.260 isn't great either, but that's what I think he'll do. That's not so bold of a statement as you might think it is.

[ForlrnPerplxity]

hahah it's cool. this is more fun for me anyway. I don't get pissed off by what anybody says. I hope no one does about what I say.

okay that's what i thought.

i'm judging him on his two years in the league and how much he regressed in terms of average from one to the other. it doesn't foreshadow good things. maybe i'll be wrong. maybe i'll be right. who knows? let them play, i guess.
