Molina != Draft Picks

" Molina will be entering the final year of his contract and he doesn’t want to endure another painful free-agent separation. Molina wanted to stay with the Angels and Blue Jays earlier in his career, but had to sign elsewhere.

He knows Pablo Sandoval is on the scene and Buster Posey is on the way, but he is hoping to sit down with Giants officials at some point.

"I’ll do everything to help this team," Molina said. "We should be better next year, even better the year after that, and I want to be a part of it.""

Given this, I imagine he would accept arbitration...

I like Bengie, but he’s nuts if he thinks he’s going to get an extension. Even ignoring the obvious Sandoval/Posey situation, why would we to offer a 34 year old catcher an extension before his contract is up!

With regards to accepting arbitration, it’ll probably depend on what happens this year. If he puts up a decent season again, i’d have to question his logic in accepting arbitration with the possibility of little playing time, At the stage of his career he will be he should be looking for multiple years, a gaurenteed role and someone with a better chance of competing!

If We Aren't Ready To Compete After Bengie's Contract Expires

just when do you think we will? Do you really think 2011 or later is the right target date to rebuild to? From my perpective if you can’t rebuild by 2010 you have become like the Pirates on track to always be rebuilding and to never be rebuilt and ready to compete.
