Rodriguez is still a good catcher, is a far superior hitter to Molina and has extensive playoff experience. Molina is a back up period. There is a reason that Rodriguez's teams always win. Farnsworth is not a trusted pitcher. He is average at best and shaky in his last 2. Pitchers like him are easily replaceable (just look at Oakland's bullpen) but players with Rodriguez experience arent readily available. When has Farnsworth been better than a league average 7th inning guy?
BTW - Think the Mets wish they had signed Loshe?
