In a recent article, Jayson Stark named Yadier Molina as the best catcher of the century, igniting debate over Buster Posey's credentials. Though Stark supports his stance with statistics for other players, he leans heavily on subjective reasoning for Molina. Experts have long debated the Molina vs. Posey narrative, and Stark’s selection reignites this conversation.

This selection is intended to provoke reader engagement and maintain an ongoing discussion about baseball's greatest players.
