I'm surprised Choo s available in a twelve team league and I would drop Molina for him right away.
If Choo has been one thing it's consistant and has been a great addition to some of my teams.

Molina is at best a low end catcher even in a twelve team league and has played better than his yearly totals.

Anyone else with an opinion here? Just don't want someone good to get snatched up before I had a chance to investigate. Thanks again and WHIR!!!

I would pick up Choo as well. You don't need to carry two catchers and with Inge you are set. So drop Molina and pick up the Train. I would also consider picking up Kubel who is putting up a nice year.

please help

In a 12-team league, there's got to be a few owners frustrated with their catchers. Instead of out-right dropping either Inge or Bengie, you would be better served trading one of them.
