Do you guys think Molina is HOF-worthy? I always try to use the test if my first response to a question about is someone HOF worthy if I hesitate I say no. No doubt he's one of the best defensive catchers of all time in my opinion. Problem is the catcher position gets an unfair higher standard associated with it. Almost like a Ray Guy or Roby deal for punters in the NFL. Until some of these old writers/voters leave....we might not see guys like Molina in. Defensively all day long. Offensively he's had his moments and a phenomenal career. HOF worthy? In it's current form of voting I say no 55/45.....but man it's close.

Do you guys think Molina is HOF-worthy? I said it before, stack him up against some of his contemporaries... Posey Mauer Posada Then apply the Ozzie Smith formula...was his defense good enough to push him past superior offensive catchers? I think he'll eventually get in, but not first ballot...

Has to be 1 of 3 that I'm thinking between Maddux, Wood or Big Z. Probably leaning more towards Wood but Z was there longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 104 fewer starts than Z but only 72 less strikeouts. I realize he did relief work during the end of his career but man. Once again what could have been with Prior, Wood, Zambrano.....closest thing to Madduz, Smoltz, Glavine over the past 20 years. At least on paper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking how great (because we won) and how bad (no way it was sustainable) it was Dusty running those guys up to 130 pitches every 5th day for what felt like 2-3 years.

Wood was the one...I remember watching the 20 strikeout game (I think it was like his 4th or 5th big league start) and thinking, "if his arm doesn't fall off, he'll be in the Hall of Fame." I've watched no hitters and perfect games, but never saw a pitcher dominate a team like Wood did the Astros that day... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the announcers were calling the pitches before he threw you knew his stuff was so good no batter had a chance that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 So back to trivia... Since the Bears drafted Hall of Famer Sid Luckman in the first round of the 1939 NFL draft, they have picked one other Hall of Fame quarterback in the first round...who was he?
