Mets Reportedly Sign Bengie Molina for Two Years
by Sam Page on Dec 29, 2009 6:21 PM EST

Per ESPN 1050 via Pat Andriola, the Mets have signed Bengie Molina. We're waiting for confirmation on this one, but if true, will probably be a bad move. In the meantime, what do you think of this lineup?
- Reyes
- Castillo
- Wright
- Bay
- Beltran
- Francoeur
- Murphy
- Molina
6:22pm by Eric: If there's a vesting option worth $10 million for 2012 I'll cry.
8:37pm by Mark: Ken Davidoff denies the rumor in an article discussing the Bay signing.
The key, now, is for the Mets to stick to their notion of fiscal responsibility. Don't guarantee Bengie Molina two years (the current offer stands at one year and an option - ignore the inaccurate reports that the two sides are closing in on a two-year deal)
I guess its still a wait-and-see thing, but for now, I'm assuming we're allowed to let out a collective sigh of relief.

$12 mil is too much, but not that awful. I think we need to make sure he doesn’t find out about Shake Shack though.

Everyone has complained about the Mets being too top-heavy
And this lineup is the best representation of that problem. This is as good as the 2007-2008 team — just replace Bay with Delgado and you have a slight upgrade. Francoeur, Molina and Murphy are all a good bet to be ineffectual, while eating up 3 important spots in the lineup and ~$11M in salary.

If it's a 1 year deal, I won't be too upset.
He’s not the starting catcher I want, but I feel Blanco and Thole will provide nice depth there when Molina fails. Just keep it to 1 year.

But he's not even better than Chris Coste or Brian Schneider.
He’ll make $6M when he deserves no more than $1M. His money is better off used on a first baseman than can hit or a starting pitcher.

Schneider barely played and had like a .200 BABIP
But still managed to put up a higher OBP than Bengie Molina. Molina can’t walk, run, move or throw. He has average to good power, which is his only good baseball skill. Schneider was a useful player for the Mets if people just tempered their expectations for him.
Coste, I don’t care what anyone says, is a better hitter than Bengie Molina.

Most to LF
All but three were struck to the left side. Longest was estimated at 425’ with an average of 397’. Probably about 12 would have been over the fence at Citifield. In 2008, 14 of the 16 HRs were to left of centre at an average of 391’.

Still no defensive upgrade.
Mets’ Rank (DER)
2006 – 2nd
2007 – 5th
2008 – 6th
2009 – 13th
This lineup is no better than last year defensively. I would hazard a guess that it’s significantly worse, assuming more regression on Castillo’s end.
by sjohnson125 on Dec 29, 2009 6:29 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Omar doesn’t care about defensive stats. Bay played CF in 2005 and Molina won a GG years ago. Upgrades!
Realistically though, a Philips/Arroyo deal would solve a ton of problems for this team. Infield defense would actually be very good.
by True Blue4 on Dec 29, 2009 6:34 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
We will get better production from LF next year. I guess the addition of Reyes makes the defense a lot better. Could Wright be that bad at third again? Murphy is not a bad fielding first baseman. So yeah, I actually think our infield defense will improve. A healthy Beltran helps in CF.
by Coolpapabell on Dec 29, 2009 6:42 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
A healthy Reyes will definitely help even if he isn’t the defensive beast people thought he’d become. If Wright can break even in UZR and we can upgrade Castillo then the IF defense should be very good. An Evans/Murphy platoon at 1B could easily give a positive UZR.
Wright – Reyes – Philips – Murphy would definitely be a positive infield defense in terms of UZR. Castillo is just murdering this club in so many ways.

What do I think of the lineup ?
Swap Beltran and Wright, replace Castillo with Hudson and I’ll be happy.

by fxcarden on Dec 29, 2009 6:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Agree w/ the swap.
I’d rather Beltran bat 4th to break up the parade of righties and to get more speed on the bases. Bay’s not a base-clogger, but he can’t take the extra base as often as Beltran and is not a real SB threat. I’d also be tempted to flip Murphy and Francouer, again to avoid bunching righties together and to make the opposing manager’s bullpen moves a bit harder.

And then he was fine in 2008. Again, I’m only saying that Thole should be given a shot because the competition (Santos, Coste, Molina) sucks.

Look on the bright side
He’s old, maybe he’ll get hurt. I’d rearrange the lineup like so:
Reyes
Murph (I still think either Omar gets Delgado, or Davis is starting by August)
Wright
Beltran
Bay
French/Pagan
Molina
Castillo (I’ve heard the argument “he only works in the 2 spot” and I don’t buy it. A 2 hitter has to get more than 15 extra base hits a year.

i liked murph in the 2 spot
last year.
Stat guys are prob gonna prove me wrong, but i feel like Murphy is good at recognizing good pitches to hit, and gets them more in teh 2 spot. I like him better as a high avg guy with a good obp then a power guy, and the 2 spot will be better for him to do that.

The Mets roster is a room with a four foot ceiling
Castillo, Molina and Cora will make $14M to provide 1 WAR or less. So with no hope at those positions and crap in 1B and RF, again you’re relying on “the core” and high-priced slugger (in this case Bay) to carry the day. This team will win 88 games and fall a game short of the Wild Card again.
It’ll be Reyes’ fault.

And his projection makes that even worse, sadly enough.
Dock him half a win for age in 2010, and another half win below that for 2011, and you have a player who projects to put up half a WAR for his $10-12 million.

Excellent point.
I wouldn’t want to rush Thole, and I think Santos just put up his career year in ’09, but I think there are many better ways to improve the ballclub with 2/12 than signing Molina. Living with Thole and Santos and improving elsewhere is one way to go about that. Signing Greg Zaun for 2.25 would have been vastly better. Adding Henry Blanco and Zaun to the mix gives you substantial depth, a defensive platoon, and an extra 2+ million/year to work magic elsewhere.
I bet you knew that, though.

I am not pissed off at anything. The bay contract is a bit longer then I would like but I dont think its aweful. I would have prefered molina 1 year to 2 (or better yet, 0 years)… but I am not ready to think that this move is the end all be all of bad moves….
Molina could be a nice guy to have on the team for 2 years. I hope thole can take over most days by year 2, and I dont mind Molina as the #2 catcher next year… 3 would be a game changer.

I have to suspect this is an insanely poor decision
Why are the Mets jumping on a non-market? Just because he was asking for three years doesn’t mean they have to meet him in the middle. By that logic, any player they had any kind of interest in could ask for $100 million and reasonably expect a $50 million contract. I wanted them to sign Molina…..if they waited until February and he was still available. That was a risk worth taking. Giving him multiple years or more than $5 million is a mistake from any angle. Poor Josh Thole.
