July 12, 200421 yr Shows their performance so far this year, a few possible targets on here. Catching Up Name Team Inning SBA CS% ERA WP/PB/G Schneider Expos 594.7 31 48% 4.19 0.318 Brian Schneider is one heck of a catcher and should be the Gold Glove half-year winner in the NL, maybe in all of baseball. Only 31 stolen base attempts in nearly 600 innings, and half of them have been caught. Name Team Inning SBA CS% ERA WP/PB/G Matheny Cardinals 484.3 22 27% 3.98 0.204 Mike Matheny has a reputation as a good fielding catcher, and he seems to be earning it this year. His CS% of 27% is about average, but there have been only 22 attempts against him in nearly 500 innings -- the lowest ratio of any regular catcher. He also manages to keep errant pitches under control. Meanwhile, the other Molina brother is throwing out 50% of runners -- though only six attempts have been made with him behind the plate. Baserunners just don't seem to take chances against the Cardinals in general. Name Team Inning SBA CS% ERA WP/PB/G Kendall Pirates 666.7 53 30% 4.60 0.270 Zaun Blue Jays 371.3 41 32% 3.90 0.364
July 12, 200421 yr Author Is Schneider available? I think most players on the Expos are for the right price except for Jose Vidro and Nick Johnson.
July 12, 200421 yr It'd be so awesome if we picked up Schnieder. He's still pretty young, so he could be around for the next couple years.
July 12, 200421 yr those catcher that were mention are nice i would love to have any of them. any info on hitting potential???
July 13, 200421 yr those catcher that were mention are nice i would love to have any of them. any info on hitting potential??? Well you should just forget about Matheny. There is no way in hell the Cardinals risk negatively effecting the pitching staff by trading him.
July 13, 200421 yr Author Well you should just forget about Matheny. There is no way in hell the Cardinals risk negatively effecting the pitching staff by trading him. Not this season anyways, I think the Cardinals might have an option for him next year, otherwise he'll be a FA. Their other young catcher is doing quite well, so Matheny could be a good target to go after.
July 13, 200421 yr Not this season anyways, I think the Cardinals might have an option for him next year, otherwise he'll be a FA. Their other young catcher is doing quite well, so Matheny could be a good target to go after. He does not have an option for next year.
July 13, 200421 yr Author He does not have an option for next year. Yeah I thought so, pretty sure he's making $4 million this season, which is probably about what we'd hav to fork out to get him. Fantasic behind the plate, only question is about his hitting.
July 13, 200421 yr Yeah I thought so, pretty sure he's making $4 million this season, which is probably about what we'd hav to fork out to get him. Fantasic behind the plate, only question is about his hitting. I think we can handle it if are number 9 hitter cannot hit very well. Especially since like you said he has great defense.
July 13, 200421 yr Is Schneider available? Yes he is. I have long hoped the Sox would make a push after him. Offensively he's been coming into a zone as well. Not tremendous, but his average has improved every month.
July 13, 200421 yr Seriously let Ben Davis start a few games. Get him some time in the cage... The way I figure it is if we can make him a .150 hitter with his defensive potential that would be just fine for me.
