Tampa Bay Rays: Catchers a Bright Spot To End 2015

In 2014, the Tampa Bay Rays’ catchers–mostly Jose Molina, Ryan Hanigan, and a little bit of Curt Casali–hit a grand total of 5 home runs while driving in just 48. Jose Molina hit .178, Hanigan hit .218 (but at least he had a .318 OBP), Casali hi .167, and Ali Solis went 0 for 6.

The Rays’ front office thought that they solved the problem by trading for Rene Rivera. Rivera was a strong defensive catcher coming off a career year.
