Just recently news broke that St. Louis Cardinals’ catcher Yadier Molina had his cast removed from his second thumb surgery this offseason. With Molina having the two thumb surgeries this offseason, we are left to wonder, what offensive impact will he have if any.
Molina finished the season last year with a measly .660 OPS, his lowest OPS total since the 2006 season. That was when Molina was recovering from thumb surgery on his left thumb. So, now Molina has two surgically repaired thumbs making it all the more harder to be much of an offensive force at all.
