Motter doesn't play any one position well enough and doesn't have the blue chip pedigree to give him consistent playing time whil he works out the kinks in his bat. His pedigree is as follows: He was a 17th round pick by the Rays. The Mariners acquired him and some other guy for three scrubs. He has pedestrian solid minors numbers. .762 OPS at AA at age 24, and .837 OPS at AAA at age 25. Both with EYE that sends Dr. D. screaming into the night. He's not the best defensive catcher or shortstop.
These sorts of guys don't get the 3000 mlb at bats to make their case that the Justin Smoaks and the Mike Zuninos of the world get. They play when they get an opportunity and they make the most of it or not.
I think Motter has a good chance of making $5 million bucks and being an excellent journeyman super sub. Doc is right that Motter deserves our respect. He plays hard for us and has no doubt worked like a mad man for every thing that he has achieved.
