| Yadier Molina gets rare day off |
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com
(5/15/13) After going 0 for 5 the night before, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina was not in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Mets. He is batting .370 with three RBI and a .457 slugging percentage in May.
It was just the second game the 30-year-old did not start behind the plate for St. Louis this season.
"We knew it was going to happen one of these days on this homestand," manager Mike Matheny told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "As it heats up, the heat beats on you behind the plate. We'll be keeping a close eye on him, but he's really felt good.
"Yesterday was one of the first days where it didn't look like everything was on, timing wise, as far as his swing goes, and that was it more than anything. Physically, he feels good, just trying to get a day to get himself back into a good rhythm."

| Yadier Molina playing a ton this season |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/6/13) Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina has played in 30 of the team's 31 games this season.
Molina was removed from Sunday's game after taking a pitch off his hand but expects to be ready to play Tuesday. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said Molina has been able to control his intensity this year, which has allowed him to play in more games, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "He’s always tempered down his style of play the way he’s more efficient now behind the plate," Matheny said. "I think he’s really realized how to keep the intensity but not kill himself every single game so that he has something left in the tank."
Molina doesn't seem worn out with the extra playing time. He's hitting .328/.361/.457 in 116 at-bats.

Cards' Wainwright settles for 2-hitter as no-no ends in 8th
Adam Wainwright carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning and was one out from the St. Louis Cardinals' second straight one-hitter over the suddenly punchless Colorado Rockies in a 3-0 victory Saturday.
|
| Remember when Yadier Molina was that defensive-minded catcher you drafted only if you missed out on the big bats at the position and didn't want to settle for someone who'd destroy your batting average in the later rounds? Safe to say he's undergone a transformation of sorts, trailing only Buster Posey in OPS among catchers with at least 400 at-bats last year. And Posey won NL MVP, you know. So was it legitimate? Well, really all that changed for Molina was the increase in power, and it happened in his late 20s, when such increases are common. What should also ease your mind is that it didn't happen all at once. He took an intermediate step in 2011, nearly doubling his previous career high in home runs, before taking a great, big, Papa Bear step last year. His contact rate has always been abnormally high, so no reason to doubt his batting average. If in a worst-case scenario you're getting a .300 hitter who bats in the middle of a potent lineup, then you have to agree Molina is one of the safest catchers in Fantasy. Where to draft him is a matter of debate, but once Posey goes off the board, he's as viable as anybody. (Updated 11/30/12) |
