Molina finalizes return to Giants: Bengie Molina and the Giants have completed a $4.5 million, one-year contract that brings the veteran catcher back to San Francisco. The deal was completed Friday, one day after Molina passed a physical. The sides had agreed to terms earlier this week. The move came as a surprise, because Molina had sought a multiyear contract and was in negotiations with the Mets. Earlier in the offseason, San Francisco GM Brian Sabean indicated the 35-year-old free agent wouldn't be back for a fourth season with the team. He can earn another $1.5 million this year in performance bonuses based on games started. Molina won consecutive Gold Glove awards in 2002-03 with the Angels.

Fantasy Analysis
The 35-year-old Molina batted .265 with a career-high 20 home runs to go with 80 RBI last season as the cleanup hitter in his third year with the Giants and 12th in the big leagues. His return to the Giants represents an amount of certainty, but you have to be mildly fearful of Posey forcing his way into the lineup later in the year. Even though he could end up sharing starts with Posey by the end of the year, we rank Molina as a top 10 Fantasy catcher to target on Draft Day, mostly because of his run production a frequency of starts.
