The Cream of the Crop: Top Five Catcher Edition

[Geki Ace]

Yet I didn't say I didn't look at Mauer. I said I looked more in depth at LaRue's stats and found that based on his rate of improvement and very solid all-around game, he deserved the spot. At first I made a list without looking at stats and LaRue and Barrett both weren't on it, but after looking at stats I decided they were easily worthy and just happened to be two of the more underrated catchers in baseball.

And on the other point, you brought up Kendall, Lo Duca, Lopez, and Schneider initially, and I refuted them all. You then defended all of the people I said no to, including Kendall, and I picked on Kendall the most because he was the worst choice out of the people you mentioned. After I brought up Kendall's statistical inferiority, you continued to try and defend him and then accused me of only singling out Kendall. You called me a homer because I chose a Red for the list, even though you didn't look at any stats. Mauer and LaRue were virtually equal defensively and in OPS, so I went with the player who was a bit more proven. This list is my opinion and not the end-all list of best catchers. Get over it.

even though you didn't look at any stats.

now you're gonna tell me what I did and didn't look at?

Congratulations, you have your opinion and so does everyone else

[Geki Ace]

I just assumed you hadn't looked at the stats, because if you did and still decided I was a homer, I'd be forced to call you an ignorant moron.

[Geki Ace]

And for the record, now I've decided to resort to namecalling because logic doesn't seem to be working with you.

[Saber]

Yes, let the hate build up within you.

Bwahahahaha!!!!

oh no, then I'd be forced to kill myself because of what you think of me! how ironic

[Geki Ace]

One could only hope.

You said you were hoping this thread would cause a lot of good debate, Geki.

You got your wish.

I still don't know why Bengie Molina's name hasn't been brought up in this thread.

[Geki Ace]

I said good debate not, "omg ur a homer cuz u pixed a reds player", and then dragging that out despite getting smacked in the face over and over by logic.

And Bengie Molina was considered, but I decided he was another guy just outside of the list.

[Providence A's]

now you're making up stuff, huh? Misquoting also strikes at your "journalistic integrity." Looks like you're the one who needs to get over it and is the one dragging it on and on and on. You also cried about getting "insulted" and now that's all you can do

[Geki Ace]

That's pretty much exactly what you said, only with slightly better grammar.

[browntown653]

I know this isn't my problem, but this isn't a big deal, let's just leave it alone...Geki's entitled to his own opinion.

LIke I said, no love for my fatass boy in Los Angeles of Anaheim.

Jose Molina? Might be the better catcher than the other Molina but he couldn't crack the Devil Rays lineup.
