Jays' Molina Unhappy With Lack Of Playing Time
4th August, 2006 - 3:52 pm
Toronto Star - Jays catcher Bengie Molina expressed his displeasure yesterday about his lack of playing time over the last portion of the Jays disastrous road trip.

"I've wanted to say this for a long time, I've always been the No. 1 guy (catcher), and I thought was going to come in here and be the No.1 guy," said Molina.

Molina was out for five straight days during the road trip, and has caught only once in the past five games. Molina said while he is unhappy with his playing time, he is not miffed with Gregg Zaun or manager John Gibbons.

The fifth-year catcher, signed in February as a free agent for $4.5 million (all figures U.S.) this season, has appeared in 67 games, 66 of them as a starter. He has hit .278 with eight homers and 27 RBIs. [READ]
