When Bengie comes out of it, he's going to make a lot of noise."

April 7, 2008
Bengie Molina had two hits on Monday which led to three RBI against the Padres for the Giants.

March 17, 2008
Bengie Molina was booed this weekend for not hustling to first and for not trying for extra bases, but he's been told to not run hard to protect his sore quadriceps, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "They don't know how I feel or what my intentions are," Molina said. "I want to be ready for March 31 (the opener in Los Angeles) instead of trying for a double and be lost for three weeks or a month." He still expects to be ready for the season opener, and you can still expect him to be about as slow a runner as they come, even when healthy.
March 7, 2008
Recovered from his strained left quadriceps, according to the Giants team website, catcher Bengie Molina played four innings in his first Cactus League game. The report noted that the Giants' starting lineup on Friday resembled what might be the team's Opening Day contingent. Molina continues to get little support from the fantasy community. After playing in 134 games in '07, registering the second most home runs among catchers behind only John Buck of KC, the San Fran backstop is currently the 11th catcher list according to Mock Draft Centrals mixed league ADP chart.
February 27, 2008
Bengie Molina's quad strain is taking longer than expected to heal, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He's expected to miss the first few spring training games, but there's no reason to think this will affect his availability for the start of the regular season.
February 24, 2008
Bengie Molina is dealing with a strained quadriceps that might keep him from taking part in the Giants' first exhibition game on Thursday, according to the Contra Costa Times. "I'd rather miss half the spring and be ready to play the whole season," Molina said. So long as he doesn't aggravate the injury, this shouldn't affect his status for the regular season, though manager Bruce Bochy said Molina was 50-50 for Thursday's contest.
February 15, 2008
The Giants plan on hitting Bengie Molina cleanup this year. The catcher doesn't feel any added pressure hitting in the spot that had been reserved for Barry Bonds. "I think they have the right guy in me because I don't think about it," Molina said in the AP. "I just see it like I have to stand up at the plate, look for my pitch and hit it hard somewhere. That's the only thing I'm going to try to do. I'm not going to try to hit more home runs or less home runs, but drive in runs with hits. I'm straight up going to be myself." Molina is a nice offensive catcher, but the fact that he's in line to hit fourth just gives you an idea how pathetic the Giants lineup is.
