Thats fair, but Pudge did roids, and will never make the HOF, so Molina becomes the de facto 'best defensive catcher', at least of people that current voters saw.
He's already in the HOF.
1st ballot too

Speaking of Hall of Fame.... Ichiro's career is now over. He will be a first ballot lock in 2023.

Nick Markakis has more hits in 3 less years than Chase Utley has, who sits at under 2k hits. And people think Utley is a HoFamer

Anyone seeing this beef between Bauer and McCullers? Bauer saying Astros are cheating cuz their spin rates are outta control etc etc. Interesting.

Bauer is wrong to accuse them but he is right that the league is allowing pitchers to cheat openly. They need enforce the rule. Firmer grip has been confirmed to increase spin rate.

LOL wow, guess thats how memorable and meaningful his selection was. He was a red handed roid user. The Baseball HOF has become a joke.

That certainly is the easiest way to go. I still wouldnt vote in guys like Sosa or Mac who never would have made the Hall without cheating. I would consider the HOF a complete joke if either of those 2 had been voted in.

Thats my point. They put Pudge in, but banish Bonds and Clemens. Thats the joke.
