Do you think Molina getting in is a foregone conclusion? I know he is an amazing fielder, but an OPS+ of 96?

Posey won ROY, MVP, a batting title, and 3 World Series, so I think he has a better case.

I should add Mauer as well. Molina not first ballot but yeah he's in,.

I know my view is the minority here and the consensus seems to be that they are hall of famers, but Molina’s traditional and advanced stat lines both are clearly below Cooperstown standard. Posey played well enough but for so few games that I have a hard time seeing it. Someone from that 3 WS Giants team has to make it though so he’ll sail in.

Realmuto is not on track, he’s below any serious candidate.

Deserving or not is not the issue. I think Posey and Molina will nonetheless make it.

There are many borderline HOF catchers on the outside looking in: Munson, Gene Tenace, Wally Schang, Bill Freehan, Charlie Bennett, Jorge Posada….

Would like to see one of them get in before being leapfrogged by Molina.

If JT plays another 20 years then maybe

At this point in his career no. Not even border line to me
