Molina is not in the top ten Cards of all time.
He's closer to 20 than 10.

Albert Pujols is so much more deserving than molina…

For Puhols to have to share the day with another does not recognize his singular greatness…

Yes, Albert Pujols had a greater career than Molina. Pujols had the greatest 12 years of any St. Louis Cardinal except Musial, Gibson, and Hornsby. He is also a class act who have no doubt would be proud to have the greatest defensive catcher in Cardinal history share his day.

Molina spent his entire 19 year career with St. Louis, earned 4 platinum gloves and 9 gold gloves, 8 consecutive. He led the NL in assists by a catcher 3 times, and led the NL in caught stealing % 4 times. He is #4 in games caught in MLB. In 2018, he won the Roberto Clemente Award for his work on and off the field.

You have expressed your disdain for the man often on this forum. You claim that you are not a fan of any player on any team, and yet you constantly display your dislike for Yadier Molina. If you are not emotionally involved in a positive way for any player or team, why would you be so negatively obsessed with Molina?

multiple drunken Twitter rants

during Covid, when people were supposed to be acting responsibly, he posted a picture of a party he attended with several other people….of course Jack Daniels was a guest of honor

He spent a career doggin’ it to first on ground balls

He showed up in camp grossly overweight…..making his waddle to first base even slower

There were reports that he was snubbing young players, and not helping the young catchers..

He abandoned the team in mid season to spend time in Puerto Rico with his basketball team…

I think it was last year…maybe earlier…he was named an adviser/conultant……and was seldom with the club…if at all

And this year, he is the so called special advisor to bloom….yet, he’s not with the club because he’s hanging with his Puerto Rican friends

I could go on..

I’m sure you are correct….few share my thoughts…

Those red colored glasses blind many of our friends…

ok

during Covid, when people were supposed to be acting responsibly, he posted a picture of a party he attended with several other people….of course Jack Daniels was a guest of honor

Covid! Hahahaha. What a joke that was!/b]

He spent a career doggin’ it to first on ground balls

He showed up in camp grossly overweight…..making his waddle to first base even slower

Wow, this is far from reality. Molina was routinely noted for the great physical shape he was in at camp. He was in such great shape that he caught nearly every ballgame every season. Might have something to dp with your assessment of his hustle.

There were reports that he was snubbing young players, and not helping the young catchers..

Nope. Molina was a great leader and mentor. This is why he is likely to be the next Cards manager.

He abandoned the team in mid season to spend time in Puerto Rico with his basketball team…

He didn't abandon anything. You think he just went MIA without prior discussions/approval from mangemnet. C'mon, guy!

I think it was last year…maybe earlier…he was named an adviser/conultant……and was seldom with the club…if at all

Most advisory roles aren'tfront and center. Also a great way to keep a legend and your future manager "tied" to the organization.

And this year, he is the so called special advisor to bloom….yet, he’s not with the club because he’s hanging with his Puerto Rican friends

You obviously haven'tbeen paying attention. Molina has been in camp working with the C's and has been in the dugout. In fact, great photo the other day of him in the dugout next to Marmol. It was clear who carried the clout!

I could go on..

I’m sure you are correct….few share my thoughts…

Those red colored glasses blind many of our friends…

OK, let's count. A top 10 might be:

Molina
Hornsby
Dean
Musial
Gibson
Brock
Boyer
Simmons
Ozzie
Pujols
Chris Carpenter
Wainwright

This is actually 12, which does not include, Medwick, Bottomley, Frisch, Mize, Schoendienst, Slaughter, Flood, Edmonds, Rolen, and others.

To cut this list from 12 to 10, I would not eliminate Molina. So I do believe he is in the Cardinals top 10 of all time.
