Could you elaborate? What is the “Mimosa Line”?

Actually, I meant the Mendoza line, after weak-hitting Mario Mendoza (whom I inexplicably confused with solid ball player Minnie Mimosa, it's been a few years). Anyway, Wikipeda explains the Mendosa line as:

This is often thought of as the offensive threshold below which a player's presence in Major League Baseball cannot be justified, regardless of his defensive abilities.

Steve Yeager was an exceptional defensive catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, with a weak bat for much of his career. He managed to be the starting catcher while the Dodgers went to the World Series despite a .198 batting average. He did have his moments in the playoffs, nonetheless.
