2008 - Gold Glove (NL) (C)

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

News: Molina will not start Tuesday night against the Astros, the St. Louis Dispatch reports.

Analysis: Jason LaRue will start in his place, again catching for starter Todd Wellemeyer. Despite manager Tony La Russa's assertion that he doesn't believe in personal catchers, it seems Wellemeyer has an edge with LaRue behind the plate. If that edge is apparent again Tuesday, don't be surprised if it's not the last time Molina sits for a Wellemeyer start.

Tuesday, June 30, 2009

News: Molina missed his second start in a row with leg and hip discomfort stemming from Saturday's collision with Michael Cuddyer, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis: Molina is day-to-day, and he won't get the break he needs at the All-Star break as he's expected to be the starter.
