[Note] Rays Sign Jose Molina
We've gotten word from what we believe to be a credible source that the Rays
have signed catcher Jose Molina. With Kelly Shoppach's option not picked up
the team is in need of another reliable defensive backstop. John Jaso and
Robinson Chirinos are still under contract but neither is known for his
defensive prowess.
根據可靠消息，光芒簽下捕手Jose Molina。由於沒執行Kelly Shoppach的球隊選項，球
隊需要另一位防守型的捕手。John Jaso和Robinson Chirinos都還有合約在身，但兩位的
防守都不及格。
A career backup, Molina was dead weight with the bat until 2011. Buoyed by a
.363 batting average on balls in play he hit .281/.342/.415 in 55 games for
Toronto. However, before last season he had only posted an on base percentage
of +.300 one time in the past eight years. On a more positive note, Molina
was the best at framing pitches per Mike Fast's excellent research at
Baseball Prospectus. In our recent Q&A with Andrew Friedman he stressed the
importance of catching.
生涯都擔任替補的Molina，一直到今年才展現出不錯的打擊能力。在BABIP.363的支持下
，在藍鳥隊的55場比賽，打擊三圍是.281/.342/.415。但在這之前，過去8個賽季，只有一
次OBP超過.300。其他好消息，在Mike Fast的研究裡，Molina蹲捕時的好球帶是最大的(意
思就是偷好球的能力最好，http://ppt.cc/Nbk; )。在最近和Andrew Friedman的訪問中，
他強調了捕手的重要性。
