A 44 career WAR doesn't impress much either. Great player, but not sure about HOF player.

What about Molina? His counting stats are all higher because he played a lot longer than Posey, but his WAR is actually a little lower at 42.1.
Catchers are definitely looked at differently than other positions so I think they both will eventually get in, but not necessarily on the first ballot.
