Newsbreakers

November 10, 2009

According to the San Jose Mercury News, the chances of Bengie Molina returning to the Giants are not looking promising.

Our View:

The Giants are open to bringing Molina back for one year, but don't want to pay him more than the $6 million he made last season. Molina on the other hand wants a two-year deal with a significant bump in pay, so he'll likely look elsewhere. The Giants will likely offer him arbitration as he's a Type A free agent, but won't commit to more than a year with top prospect Buster Posey waiting in the wings. Look for them to target another veteran backstop, like, say, Pudge Rodriguez. Stay tuned.

October 2, 2009

The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that the Giants would like to bring back catcher Bengie Molina to split time with rookie phenom Buster Posey next season. Molina has 20 home runs and 80 RBI for the team this season.

Our View:

The catching pool in free agency this offseason will be pretty slim, and Molina should be by far the best option assuming Victor Martinez stays in Boston. Molina is 35, so most teams may be reluctant to give him a long-term deal for big money, so it is realistic that he could end up staying in San Fran. Posey will get his chance at some point next season, but Molina could still be a nice fit.

September 30, 2009

Bengie Molina went 4-for-5, blasted two homers and drove in four in the Giants win over Arizona on Tuesday.

Our View:

Molina now has 20 homers on the season, which represents a new career high. He has 79 RBI on the season as well, and has been a nice power option at catcher all season.

September 25, 2009

Bengie Molina is dealing with a left finger contusion, and probably won't catch much for the Giants this weekend, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Eli Whiteside will be his primary fill-in, but phenom Buster Posey might get a start, or at least some late-inning duty.

September 19, 2009

Bengie Molina is getting a day off on Saturday. Molina will be replaced by Eli Whiteside, who will catch starter Brad Penny.

Our View:

Molina has been playing quite a bit lately, so he is just getting a routine day off. He is hitting the ball well right now, and he should stay hot when he returns to the lineup tomorrow.
