DBAHO Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Is Schneider available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Is Schneider available? I think most players on the Expos are for the right price except for Jose Vidro and Nick Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 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.

qwerty Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Zaun would be perfectly fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 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.

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.

Chisoxfn Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
