Yankees bring back Chad Moeller
ByVia Chad Jennings, the Yanks have brought back veteran catcher Chad Moeller on a minor league deal. With the team’s top three catchers nursing minor injuries, Moeller gives the team a familiar face and some depth in Triple-A. He’ll also mentor Jesus Montero, and CJ says the team is expected to release Mike Rivera.
I thought Moeller did a great job for the Yanks back in 2008, but his .287 wOBA tells a different story. Something about understanding the facts and not letting your memory trick you in believing something goes here…

Mitre and Aceves are in the bullpen, and Logan’s been optioned to Triple A.
Considering your name, you must be happy today!
Hahaha, that would appear to be the case, though it’s actually the opposite. I really wanted Logan to make the roster, and I was a huge Coke fan last year. Go figure
I was a huge Coke fan last year.
Rehab.

You ruin everything! Clearly your a fake bexy
haha sorry!

huh, I only just now noticed that original comment was probably in reference to the photo with the weird angle. He does have biiiiig hands, though.
You know what they say about big hands….
Big gloves

Beat me to it.
2005 John Flaherty – wOBA – .203
Still the funny part about Flaherty is that he signed with the Red Sox in 2006 only to retire (I like to believe it was because he hated it there) and work with the Yankees…
He hated having to catch Tim Wakefield.
Oh, and I wish he didn’t sign on with YES. He’s so wooden. He’s not as bad as Tino, but he’s close.
C-H-A-D
CHAD CHAD CHAD!
The moral of the story: if you have a son, strap him in the tools of ignorance when he’s in his crib.
And change his last name to Molina.
“I thought Moeller did a great job for the Yanks back in 2008, but his .287 wOBA tells a different story. Something about understanding the facts and not letting your memory trick you in believing something goes here…”
I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive. Moeller did a great job compared to the alternatives. He worked well with the pitchers, was good behind the plate and not an automatic out in the line-up, although certainly not a very good bat at all.
He’s certainly a bad option to be a starter, but he fits the back-up catcher role well if Cervelli gets hurt.
