| 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) |
