Yadi is better. He has the highest percentage of throwing out runners and picking them off. I have alot of respect for Wieters and in a couple of years he will be amazing but for right now i gotta give yadi a little more recognition, and the cards just won the World series. Go Cardinals!
@aScentlessApprentice Experts judge the season. Historically Molina has better statistics. However this year was contrary to that. Silly comment by you...uneducated and egotistical.
@Wordshavemeanings ahaha ok, all I said was he won the fielding bible award, which he did, and guess what, Wieters is just entering his prime, so he's only going to get better. Mollina is on the decline and widely considered overrated. You mad?
@aScentlessApprentice Molina is only 29, and Matt will be 26 beginning next year. "all I said was he won the fielding bible award". No you also said "so the experts disagree with you" Who considers Molina overrated...he won a WS. You stupid?
@Wordshavemeanings Hey genius, guess who picks the Fielding Bible award winners? Not the experts rest assured :P. And last time i checked the Yadier Molinas didn't win a world series, his team did, does'nt mean his defense isn't overrated at this point. Stop being mad friend!
@bksportsfreak oh yea and he won the fielding bible and gold glove and will win the silver slugger in years to come , he hit 11 homers from both sides of the plate, opposite field power from both sides hes the Switch hitting Jesus
Kurt Suzuki owns Matt Wieters defensively, no comparison. Baltimore had the worst ERA in the league, A's were 3rd despite having a losing record. No comparison.
I have the honor of being able to call this stud my cousin. He is so good. Give him a few years and he will be way better than any other catcher in the league.
Wieters is a beast. Best defensive catcher out there. He can thow runners out and pick runners off... But not only that. He's able to block the plate! He's strong as hell.
@isestrex Sorry, according to Metrics Yadier Molina is! Weiters is ok. Molina's throwing out runners plus pickoffs percentage and he's just too good. It's:
@dukie172 Point is that Matt Wieters sucks and so do the oriels and the cardinals are in the WS and alredy won game 1 who cares dude this was 4 months ago....and look at whos got the ring! MOLINA
@dukie172 "Uh...no they don't. The defensive metrics have Wieters with 14 runs saved this year." First of all, give me a link to show where you got this "stat". And second of all, you said "this year"...and my comment was posted 4 months ago. When you debate people you can't call out a statement that was AT THE TIME true, but possibly not anymore. Molina threw out Kinsler last night, has more gold gloves/fielding bible awards play-off games played/ rings. Have fun watchin Molina/Cards tonight!
@Wordshavemeanings I tried to send this the first time, but YouTube wouldn't let me for some reason. Ok...I don't know why YouTube won't let me send this. Just go to Fangraphs, click on Leaders (batting 2011). Click the tab for fielding and then the tab for catchers. There are 3 stats: innings, rSB (stolen base runs saved), and DRS (defensive runs saved).
Molina has been great in the past, but he really slipped this year. For the record, though, it was still true 4 months ago.
If the Orioles could get some pitching they would be contenders. Their defense and bats are as good as anyone.

Wow at 0:45 Buster Posey should take notes on how to block the plate, STANDING UP.

Dude should start pitching for the O's. Insane.

Last year he cracked top 5 catchers this I think he finally becomes the best catcher either him or Buster Posey will be the #1

Jesus, the O's are pretty solid up the middle when it comes to getting the tag down. Not to mention Hardy can swing it a little bit.

Wieters is a stud. Best defensive catcher out there (should win the GG) and 22 HR's this year. He's about to become a superstar.
