Girardi to split up catching duties
Both Molina, Moeller will get their fair share of playing time
By Willie Bans / MLB.com
NEW YORK --
With catcher Jorge Posada on the disabled list, the Yankees didn't need
to make any adjustments to their roster. They've had catchers Jose Molina
and Chad Moeller on board for a while, and the two provide different options
for manager Joe Girardi.
Molina (.227 batting average, 11 RBIs) has made 52 starts this year, and
he leads the Majors with a 48.1 caught stealing percentage. Moeller has
started 18 games and caught starting pitcher Darrell Rasner against
Minnesota on Tuesday.
The decision to start either one will be "day by day," Girardi said, and
Molina will probably catch Mike Mussina on Wednesday, like he typically does.
"We'll split it up," said Girardi, adding that he's mindful of Molina's
left hamstring injury earlier this season after he played seven straight
games. "We'll try to keep them both healthy and productive. ...
One guy gets hot, we might go with him a little bit more, but they're
both going to play."
Girardi touted Moeller's comfort level with Rasner, as he caught him
during Rasner's first four starts this season.
"Chad really understands his stuff," Girardi said. "Part of the relationship
is the trust the pitcher has in the catcher as well. I always feel that
that relationship is vital, and I think that Chad can get on Ras when he
needs to, or he can tell him, 'I don't think that's the right pitch.'
"And I think Ras has complete trust in Chad when he says that."
Moeller, a nine-year veteran, seems to have a fine knowledge of Rasner's
stuff, and he said he believes Rasner should use his fastball more often
to set up his other pitches.
"I know what he wants to do, and I have a pretty good idea of what he's
capable of doing and I don't try to ask him to do more," the 33-year-old
Moeller (.239 batting average, one home run, eight RBIs) said. "At times
you have to stop him from being too creative out there. He's fun to work
with, he has some good pitches to work with and he's not afraid to try
something.
Moeller said he hasn't been told how often he'd play -- and as of Girardi's
pregame media conference Monday, the manager didn't know the outcome of
Posada's meeting with a doctor to discuss possible season-ending surgery
on his injured right shoulder -- but he's set either way.
"I prepare for it any day, but I don't know when the times are going to
come that they need you," Moeller said. "It's been the last few years
for me, so it's just coming prepared every day, and if they don't need
you, that's fine, and if they do, you're prepared for it."
Molina said he feels fine and is ready whenever the team needs him.
"I'm OK -- I'm ready every day," Mollina said. "I'm ready every time Joe
puts me in the lineup. I'll always be ready. It's a day off, but I don't
take it as a day off. I've got work to do."
