In the past 10 years. He's played 69 more games than Molina and has 869 more PA. The only category Molina is better in in the past 10 years is defensive value and stolen bases.

Martinez hasn't been a catcher as a Tiger at all really, but in general yeah he's better.

Not 2000, but sure, Molina has 1281 more PA as a C in the last 10 years (04-14). But Martinez's PA as a DH or anything other than a C didn't really come until 2011, and he didn't play in 2012. A 10 year range is a little hard to compare because you have factor in stuff like that. I was just basing this off of your post on the other thread.

Brian McCann would be a better comparison. He's played 1 less year than Molina (wasn't in MLB in 04) McCann has only 367 less AB as a C. He has 196 HR/516 R/727 RBI/higher OBP/higher wOBA/higher wRC+/nearly the exact same WAR/way higher offensive value (Molina -33.9, McCann 47.4)

.305 average beats a .284 average every time

i totally forgot about Martinez and his DH shenanigans. His PA as a Catcher fell off the map after 2010

".305 average beats a .284 average every time" Batting average is a very deceiving stat. It doesn't factor in a lot of stuff. wOBA is the way to go.

"958 H" The number of hits he has as a catcher, I presume? "Any ballplayer that don't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American." -- Rogers Hornsby

If I was in the American League. Id totally want Martinez over Molina. His bat is just that good. Always been one of the better hitters in the major leagues. In the National League. It's lopsided for Molina since Martinez is dreadful catching.
