Tired of him getting squeezed out of the Giants catcher scene thanks to the arrival of Buster Posey, I finally cut bait with Bengie Molina in the two-catcher Hurler league on Tuesday. Didn't seem like too much of a loss. The guy had posted only three home runs and 17 RBI so far this season. But then two days later -- before Molina had even cleared waivers, of course -- San Fran ships him off to a better lineup and a friendlier ballpark in Texas, where his numbers are almost guaranteed to improve. Obviously, he was claimed by another manager. That's not even the worst part. The player I cut Molina for was Rangers backstop Matt Treanor, who has now lost his job to the guy I just dropped.
You see why I hate love really mostly hate this game? You see why I'm compelled to write about it here? It's the only way to exorcise the demons.
