I didn't quote the rest of your argument, because it's either idiotic, strawman, or both. However, I give you the point on salary caps. You have been consistent with this.
Stop. You just don't get it.
If you really believe that's the answer, then you place an overexaggerated number on the value of game calling. Really a totally absurd figure.
This is the poor methodology you use to prove your points. What about when Burnett runs out of gas? What about when Clagget surrendered 8 ER in a poor performance? Could that be the fault of the pitcher and not the catcher?
Throwing runners out actually remove actual threats from the basepaths kills run scoring chances.
Umpires get strike calls correctly called 95% of the time, more hyperinflation of something miniscule in value.
Again, getting hitters out is mostly dependent on the pitcher.
Molina's real value behind the plate is the absurd number of runners he throws out, but it still wouldn't be as big as one run per game. Even how good he is at calling games.
Good pitchers make catchers look good. Bad pitchers make them look bad.
No.
Think about that. 162 runs. At least. Do you know how much value that would give Molina? He'd be the most valuable Yankee on the staff. Oh, but that's why similar catchers like him are often labeled "backup catchers."
Besides, why the f*** should I value your judgement over concrete evidence from people who watch A LOT more baseball then you do?
