YADIER MOLINA RUMORS
Lohse faces former team for third time this season
The St. Louis Cardinals routinely pound on the Milwaukee Brewers' pitchers, and Yadier Molina is one of the main culprits.
Kyle Lohse now has first-hand experience.
Molina looks to give his former teammate another rough time on the mound and help the NL-leading Cardinals take this three-game series with the Brewers on Sunday.
St. Louis (27-15) has won 11 of the past 15 meetings...

The Fab Five: MLB Power Rankings
Welcome to the first edition of the Fab Five: MLB Power Rankings. Realizing that most of the other websites or publications are into their sixth or seventh week of their power rankings, I have always felt that these rankings are most accurate when done after every team has gotten at least 30 games on the books.
Yadier Molina throws the bat head at the ball … literally
Well … it worked.
St. Louis Cardinals: Should Yadier Molina get more rest?
Pop quiz: Who is the backup catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals? Give up? It's OK, maybe no one else knows either...it's Tony Cruz.
Of the 33 games so far this season, Cruz has appeared in just 5. He's a .254 career hitter, which isn't great, but it's tolerable for your backup catcher and is roughly the same as the team's everyday shortstop. I'm not...
Yadier Molina: simply the best in the business
ST. LOUIS Yadier Molina didn't say much.
It was just past 10 on Sunday morning, hours before St. Louis Cardinals fans would shower their catcher with a standing ovation as he accepted his fifth consecutive Gold Glove and second consecutive Platinum Glove.
"It makes me feel good," Molina said of the awards he would receive at home plate then add to the collection...

Is Yadier Molina more valuable than Albert Pujols?
A few months after the St. Louis Cardinals lost Albert Pujols to the Las Angeles Angels, they signed catcher Yadier Molina to an extension. One can infer from the timing that, losing Pujols freed up the money the Cards needed to make the Molina deal and, with that, the Cardinals made Molina the face of the franchise.
Of course, ask any Cardinals fan back then who they would rather...
St. Louis Cardinals: Yadier Molina is still the Cardinals' MVP
The St. Louis Cardinals have spent a lot of dollars this spring on securing the futures of Adam Wainwright and Allen Craig in Cardinals' uniforms for years to come. The extensions the Cardinals gave out are truly signals of how the organization values players like Wainwright and Craig.
But lets not forget just how important Yadier Molina is to this Cardinals' team. The...
St. Louis Cardinals: Yadier Molina receives praise from his old manager
In Puerto Rico's win on Sunday night in the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic, St. Louis Cardinals' catcher Yadier Molina was held without a hit at the plate on the night. In fact, Molina struggled, leaving four men on base and striking out once while hitting in the all-important fourth spot in the Puerto Rican lineup.
Despite Molina's struggles at the plate...
Yadier Molina starts record label
Yadier Molina spends months each year at the plate cranking out hits. In 2012, the St. Louis Cardinals catcher collected 159 on his way to a .315 batting average, both career bests.
Now, the 30-year-old hopes to extend his hit-making skills into the music business.
Back home in Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic, the backstop announced Molina Records’ first launch, an...
Did Cards overpay for catcher Molina?
Well, I can name at least two teams that are ticked off by catcher Yadier Molina's five-year, $75 million extension with the St. Louis Cardinals:
- The Arizona Diamondbacks, who broke off talks on an extension with catcher Miguel Montero and might lose him to free agency.
- The Atlanta Braves, who control catcher Brian McCann for two more seasons, but might need to pay him...
