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. Last edited by cgjackson222; 05-19-2023 at 11:02 PM.

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

It really depends on how he ages from here on out, and aging for catchers isn't the easiest thing.
Realmuto has 31.3 WAR according to BB-R...35th all-time for catchers. Every catcher over 50 career WAR is in the HOF (or will be once Mauer gets in). Posey is at 44.8 and Molina at 42.3. If Realmuto can get into that range, he'll be a strong candidate. Considering he's averaged 4.5 WAR per season for his last 5 full seasons (not counting shortened 2020 season), he's got a shot.
