The Top Five Back Stops in the Show for 2013 is sponsored by in my Backstop as a Starting Rotation "We Trust" and shake me off until you know it's the Right Delivery.
The 2013 Top Five Backstops in the Show (in order)
1. BUSTER POSEY San Francisco Giants #Gigantes #OrangeOctober...At just 25 years of age and having delivered Two Chips for the Gigantes while those Accolades were sandwiched by an Nasty Broken Leg in 2011. He also delivered an NL MVP and he is becoming the Face of the Show ass Derek Jeter of the Bronx Bombers is near Rolling the Credits. Buster's Numbers 2012...24 HRs 103 RBIs .336 Avg, an OPS of .957, the Silver Slugger Award, and the Hank Aaron Award. He also parked Cars and was a Suds Vendor...is there no One Else...I am Buster Posey.
2. YADIER MOLINA (pictured right) St. Louis Cardinals #Redbirds #BaseballTownUSA...the Best of the 27 Starting Molina's in the Show for 2012. Yadier came out of nowhere with his Lumber Company as he was already a Top Flight Defensive Backstop and the Best in the Show defensively. Now he enters uncharted water as Molina and Holliday are expected to carry the Offensive Load with Carlos Beltran. Molina's 2012 Numbers were excellent...22 Bombs 76 Ribbies a .315 Avg an OPS of .874 while netting his 5th Straight Gold Glove. Most say we live in a World of Backstop Buster Posey. In Baseballtown USA and Redbird Nation they say we live in a World of the Best of the Molina Brothers...Yadier.3. JOE MAUER Minnesota Twins #Twinkies...It's like he has been playing forever and at just 29 years old he may not be the Best Backstop but he is off the Charts as a Player in the Show. Ultra-smooth and consistent Mauer is as he hit a quiet .319 with 10 HRs 85 RBIs and an OPS of .861. Eventually one would see him moving to 1st base after Justin Morneau is finished. Athletic as they come as the Bluedude being a little bit Biased towards the FSU 'Noles I would have loved to see Mauer QB at Florida State back in the day.
4. JONATHAN LUCROY (pictured left) Milwaukee Brewers #BrewCrew...He is a hidden gem unless you follow the Brew Crew in Beer Town USA. Lucroy was putting up some Career-High Numbers until he broke his hand in 2012. With Prince long gone the Brewers have found someone to protect Ryan Braun as Lucroy and Corey Hart are just what the MLB Doctor ordered for the Brewers. With 12 HRs 58 RBIs and hitting .320 with an OPS of .881 Lucroy hasn't even scratched the surface. He should have a an even Bigger Year in 2013 and he is only 26 years old as we go to press. 5. WILIN ROSARIO Colorado Rockies #Rockies...who is this Bluedude well he could have been NL Rookie of the Year and he is all that at the Ripe Age of 23. Yes he has a Few Holes in his Mitt as he isn't sound defensively yet but his Power might be better than any backstop in the Show. While the Dodgers load up through Free Agency, the Gigantes win Chips, the Rockies are implementing a Youth Movement that will most likely surface in 2013 in the Show. Rosario hit only .270 in 2012 but had 28 Bombs and 71 RBIs while netting an OPS of .843.
Note: I could have went with D-Backs Backstop Miguel Montero but went with Power from the Dish instead on Rosario.
