One thing is for sure, the Mets will be able to find a catcher this off-season. On the trade front, rumored to be available are Kelly Shoppach, John Buck, Chris Snyder, Ryan Doumit, Gerald Laird and Brandon Inge ( if you consider him a catcher ). If the team is unwilling to give up pieces for a catcher then they can sign Bengie Molina, Rob Barajas, Yorvit Torrealba or one of about 10 other free agent...

This is probably because, although catchers field some ground balls and pop ups, their main defensive contribution is very different from that of all other position players. This contribution is mostly in preventing stolen bases, passed balls...

It has been rumored that Tigers mainstays Curtis Granderson, Edwin Jackson and Gerald Laird are on the trading block. That may be. But Dayn Perry of Fox Sports has a different idea of what the Tigers need. In a piece labeled "10 offseason moves that need to happen" he writes: "You can make a compelling case that the Tigers haven't had a consistent shutdown closer since '84...

For over three years people on this blog have complained that the Orioles have lacked a true ace for years. At some point two seasons ago, many believed that Jeremy Guthrie might be the closest this team has had since the migration of Moose and were rebuffed by a subpar performance this passed season. The reality is this team has two, maybe three, aces in the making in Chris Tillman and Brian Matusz...

It was distressing enough when rumors surfaced that the Tigers might trade starting pitcher Edwin Jackson and catcher Gerald Laird for budgetary reasons. But Curtis Granderson?

This picture is one of my favorite pictures of the Big Tiger at Comerica Park. I took this picture while partaking in Opening Day festivities in April of this year. I've been watching the Tigers since the 2003 season, and casually following them since 2001. I got my parents watching the Tigers in 2004 and 2006. They hadn't seen them much since at least the '80s. My parents remembered the '68 Tigers...

While the Edwin Jackson trade rumors are the biggest item out of the Motor City today, here are a few other Tiger-related tidbits... The FOX Sports team of Jon Paul Morosi and Ken Rosenthal are reporting that Detroit is also shopping Gerald Laird. The catcher hit .225/.306/.320 last season while making $2.8MM, and the Tigers would like to save some money by finding another catcher who can hit the same...

For once, I am not talking about Gregg Zaun. In this case I am referring to Detroit Tigers catcher Gerald Laird. Today the American League Gold Glove awards were announced and at the Catcher position, Joe Mauer of the Twins was awarded the…. award. Let’s be clear: offensively, Mauer had an MVP calibre type season. Defensively? You [...]

Baseball players can make contributions in a number of different ways, the most obvious and talked-about of which is how they do at the plate. Defense, position, and baserunning tend to be brushed off as secondary concerns. What follows are the top and bottom 15 in the sum of these latter three values, as determined by UZR, Fangraphs' position adjustment, and Baseball Prospectus' EQBRR. Note that catchers...
