Would be a good platoon partner for Castro.

Twins are not paying Castro $8 MM/year to be the strong side of a platoon – Castro is the everyday catcher.

Reported in early December:
“Molitor is planning on around 115-120 starts at catcher for Jason Castro. Doesn’t plan to force him in vs. LHPs. Well aware of struggles.”
Castro has a career line of .190/.249/.287 vs lefties. Even if he made 50 million dollars a year, there is no way he should ever face a lefty starter. So yes, per Molitor and per common sense, Castro will be platooned. And Molitor should not change his mind on this and if he does then it’s something they can write down on a list for “reasons to fire Molitor.”

Catcher is a great position to platoon and bringing in a veteran that has a good reputation handling a staff is a great idea. Hope it works out.
