LOS ANGELES -- When Andrew Friedman was still working out of his office in St. Petersburg, Fla., he gave Ryan Hanigan -- a career .256 hitter -- a three-year, $10.75 million deal. He lived with the fact that his other catcher, Jose Molina, batted .178 last year while hitting no home runs.The reason Friedman and the Tampa Bay Rays valued those two catchers where other teams did not comes down to one of the game's most important subtleties, pitch framing, which could, in turn, frame the conversation about what the Dodgers do at the catching position this winter.
