Agreed. Grandal is better historically against lefties over righties. 

He’s actually been better than against lefties than I thought the last 2 years. Early in his career it was the opposite, his career slash favors hitting righties slightly more.

As a lifelong Cardinals fan, I love Molina.  That being said, I don't know that his ego will allow him to sign anywhere as a backup.  He still sees himself as the starter and recently said that if he doesn't get the contract he wants, he may retire.  I don't think that actually happens and I think he will ultimately come to terms with the Cardinals, but I suppose if he were to ever consider taking a role as a backup it would be for Tony.

I heard that Molina is either signing with the Cards or retiring.

Isn’t he god awful defensively at this point?  If so, just give Collins a shot.

I don't think he was ever awful defensively.  Didn't see him play last year but he's the right age to be willing to catch on such a limited basis.  Collins playing in such a limited way is just not so good for development IMO.

He hasn't played in the major leagues. 

I’m just speculating because any further additions are going to minor league deals. There is always a chance that someone that has played or is already playing in the majors will take a minor league deal.
