Probably a silly question but is he a hall of famer?
So 1-MVP, 3-WS, ROTY, 7x AS. From a award perspective I’d say yes. From a statistical perspective it’s very borderline.
If people think Molina will be in the HoF, then Posey is 100% guaranteed to get in.
Ah the Posey v. Molina debate.
Personally I agree though I definitely think Molina has overall the better chance because of his defense and longevity. But they are extremely close in other areas.
War:
Posey: 44.1
Yadi: 42. 8
World championships:
Posey: 3
Molina: 2
MVP:
Posey: 1
Yadi: 0
ROTY:
Posey:1
Yadi:0
Those all favor Posey
Here is what favors Molina
Gold Gloves:
Posey: 1
Yadi: 9
Hits:
Posey: 1,500
Molina: 2,112 (and counting)
HRs:
Posey: 158
Yadi: 171 (and counting)
Games:
Posey: 1,371
Yadi: 2,146 (and counting)
RBIs:
Posey: 729
Yadi: 998 (and counting)
Posey was like a Koufax of catchers in that he was elite for a short period of time and also had some large injuries. But there was no denying his impact and I think he will get in. But Yadi's longevity and defense make him a shoe in.
