Lucroy is one of the best defensive catchers in baseball. He's above average in pitch framing and is very good at throwing out base stealers
You're acting like Lucroy is some scrub behind that plate defensively
Lucroy was a MVP candidate two years ago. He's def the #1 C in baseball
I was talking about the polls we have going on here. Lucroy is 4th behind Yadier even
Lucroy is by far the best ava player on the trade market (at least from the offensive side of things)
He's signed this year and next year to a very team friendly contract. He's hitting .310 with 9 HR's this season and has been the best C in the MLB by far this year. He's been a beast at...
Lucroy has a 2.2 WAR this season compared to 0.7 for Yadi who has been on a decline now the last few years.
Luc was injured last year and picked up in the 2nd half. Year before that he was a top 2 C in the MLB
Molina hasn't been that good for 3 years now. Perez never had a WAR above 3.7 in his career. Posey, I can maybe see.
My personal rankings would be:
1. Jonathan Lucroy
2. Buster Posey
3. Yadier Molina
4. Salvador Perez
5. Russell Martin
I've got no problem with athletes being paid. Just sick of people complaining about it when they are the ones going to the games and helping pay their salary.
