#BUSTER POSEY ADOPTED TWINS RACE SERIES#

Like, Posada and Martin were never the best catcher in baseball, and I'm not sure if you would ever say that Molina was the best catcher in baseball (apart from defense). Mauer and Posey lack the longevity of Molina (and even guys like Posada and Russell Martin who produced for longer periods of time), but at their peak were better than them. Personally, I think Posey should make it in, and I also think Mauer and Molina should make it in. Add to the fact that as a catcher his career was already going to be shorter (see Mauer), that injury just accelerated everything. Posey had a good career going, then at the height of it he got in a bad (and somewhat freak) injury, that robbed him of some years. Jeter was aging and declining and Trout wasn't in the league yet. That's really what it comes down, for the early 2010's, Posey was as much they face of baseball as anyone. Posey was the rock of those teams, and for a championship dynasty team, it's really not a bad comparison over those years between Posey and Jeter, even if Jeter performed better. Maybe it was MadBum or Lincecum, but they weren't integral pieces on all 3 titles (MadBum wasn't that important earlier while Lincecum wasn't as important later). My responde would be first of all I love Posada, and he might sneak in on an old timers committee, but that's a huge maybe.

Click here to view this comparison as an image I think its worse that Munson isn't in the Hall than Posada not being in the Hall. He has his number retired by us, hes a legend to us and will always come up when people learn about the late 90s teams. Looping back as I got off track, I don't care Posada didn't make it in the Hall. Any catcher has a hard hill to climb even if they make sense to be in the hall to most fans. And even then the hall will probably hold his lack of post season success against him. He is a top 10 catcher by JAWS, WAR, Hits, has an MVP, 3 GG, 5 SS and was a 3 time AL batting champ. I think Mauer has a better chance than Posey. But, he doesn't have 2k hits either.Įven if they don't hold the 2k hits thing against Posey, the Hall is TOUGH on catchers, putting them on a weird pedestal.

Posey has the edge because he has an MVP, a similar amount of rings, and he was a much better defensive catcher than Posada was. Not getting to 2k hits, not being fantastic on the base paths besides his power, and being a pretty bad defensive catcher hurt him and take away from his postseason and counting stats that should help him. im not gonna be hung up on Posada not being in the Hall. Personally, I don't think I would put either in the Hall, but I'll be annoyed if Posey gets in while Jorge didn't get a sniff. I feel that the resumes are comparable, and that their Hall of Fame claims are comparable. If people want to argue that Posey is the better player, I don't have a problem with that.
