He's a pretty solid choice and should finish as a top-20 catcher. He's not great at any one thing but, unlike a lot of catchers, won't kill you in RBI, average and home runs. Because of his speed, which rivals an gammy legged octogenarian, his run total won't match the rest of his stats. Molina will make a nice second option in two catcher leagues, but you'll be in trouble if Benji is the leader of you're catching platoon.

Positives / Upside	No real upside, but should turn in .280-15 HR- 70 RBI. Not cripplingly bad.
Negatives / Downside	Molina is faster than molasses, but it was a photo finish. Molina's lack of quickness hurts his run total just as much as his stolen bases. Even more damaging may be the emergence of rookie Buster Posey, who could end up forcing Molina to the bench faster than we think.
Recommendation	Avoid
Draft Position	223
