Bengie Molina Talks About Future

By Tim Dierkes | May 8, 2009 at 2:42pm CDT

FRIDAY, 2:42pm: Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News reports that Molina wants to return to the Giants, but won't discuss any extensions after the All-Star break. After that Molina wants to focus on the season and deal with free agency afterwards.

THURSDAY, 3:27pm: ESPN.com's Rob Neyer writes that the Giants need to get the most production possible out of Molina while he's on their team, even if that means suggesting they're more serious about discussing an extension than they really are.

9:18am: Talking to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, Giants catcher Bengie Molina discussed the future.  Molina is earning $6MM in the last year of his contract.  He considers himself a starting catcher for another two or three years and wants to finish his career with the Giants.  However, Molina knows Giants prospect Buster Posey may be ready for the Majors as soon as 2010.

Schulman learned that Molina isn't offended that the Giants haven't discussed an extension with him, but he would like to have a conversation soon.  Molina said:

"I'm not afraid of going to free agency.  What I've done for this organization, I've left my heart out there every night, day in and day out. All I want is, when the time comes, they come forward and tell me what their plans are."

Molina's gotten a nice chance to bat in the middle of the order in his Giants career, boosting his RBI totals.  His high contact approach leads to strong batting averages but low walk totals.
