Better Know a White Sox Division Rival: Detroit Tigers
Published 3/29/2009 by larry at South Side Sox
... – though he’s healthy for the first time in a long time. Laird is an overall average catcher, though it will be interesting to see how he reacts to his return to a full-time role (it wasn't pretty last time). Inge and Everett are offensive black holes but their defense makes them adequate and this offense can handle their lack of production. ...

Dombrowski moves quick to fill Tigers needs
Published 12/9/2008 by Eric Jackson at D-Town Baseball
If there is anything I like about Dave Dombrowski, and there are many things, it’s how quickly he moves every off-season to fill the needs here in Detroit. Today, the first day of the MLB Winter Meetings, the Tigers made moves to grab a catcher, Gerald Laird, and some help at shortstop, in Adam Everett. Neither move comes as a surprise and have been widely speculated this past week and neither move is much to get excited about. Adam Everett It’s tough to get behind the Adam Everett signing, though also ...

... This one really isn’t that close. Saltalamacchia is a good athlete with decent speed for a catcher, but Gerald Laird has decent speed for a baseball player. The man can actually run. Despite a large frame (6′ 1”, 225 lb.), Laird has surprisingly nimble feet. He isn’t quite gazelle-like, but there is a certain grace to his gate. This may seem like a joke, but Laird is actually a very good athlete who is one of the only real base-stealing threats from his position in baseball. He has a quick first step and a natural baseball intelligence that only ...

2006 Reds Fielding Review
Published 4/5/2007 by JinAZ at Basement Dwellers
... Two measures of catchers' abilities to affect the running game: % of would-be base stealers caught, and stolen bases attempted per game. The latter might be considered an indication of runner intimidation. As usual, solid lines indicate MLB averages among qualified catchers (I used 578 innings, as there's a big drop-off between that player, Gerald Laird, and the next catcher, ...
