Comments on: To Catch Posada Or Molina? http://waswatching.com/2008/07/09/to-catch-posada-or-molina/ Laconic Commentary From A Yankeeland Zealot Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:57:08 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Raf http://waswatching.com/2008/07/09/to-catch-posada-or-molina/comment-page-1/#comment-35266 Raf Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:49:22 +0000 http://waswatching.com/?p=5372#comment-35266 Granted, if Molina is going to throw out 40+% of base-stealers, that’s a great weapon when you’re playing teams like the Rays, Red Sox and Angels. ----------- I don't know. I guess it depends on how well his offense offsets his defense. Having said that, I don't think there's a correlation between stolen bases and runs scored. But that could be an indicator of how a team's constructed. It appears, according to b-r.com that the Tigers and Rays have scored the same amount of runs, but the Tigers have less SBs (but they've hit more). It's amazing how many variables come into play when constructing a team.
