Seeing a top prospect's debut is always fun.

Who else expects Molina to play on Friday?

Sadly, I do. This is Cito we're talking about...he'll probably leave JP on the bench for the first game (and possibly the second) before working him into the lineup.

But I'm still looking forward to his pinch running assignment.

Will he then hit him lead-off... when he's never hit lead-off in his life?

how old is this kid? all i've read he's an above-average hitter for a catcher. how is he defensively?

best catching prospect since Kevin Cash or Guillermo Quiroz!
(Sad, but true).

Sucks about John Buck.

Yay about Arencibia. He's been killing it in AAA this year.

24 and has improved a lot defensively over the years

Kevin Cash and Guillermo Quiroz. Oh, the memories...

Hopefully JPA takes this opportunity and runs with it. I'm very optimistic.

I hope AA forces Cito to play JPA and Snider a lot down the stretch. If he plays Molina more than twice a week while Buck is on the DL, I'll flip.
