Bengie Molina has retired, according to Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com.
( http://0rz.tw/CAG0p )
Molina, a catcher, played in parts of 13 seasons with the Angels, Blue Jays,
Giants and Rangers, and though he did not play in 2011, he had remained open
to the possibility of returning until now.
Molina, 37, was regarded as a defense-first backstop, posting a
.274/.307/.411 line with 144 homers for his career. His full-season high in
long balls was 20, which came in 2009. All told, Molina accumulated 15.2 wins
above replacement, according to Fangraphs' version of that metric. He earned
World Series rings with the Angels in 2002 and the Giants in 2010, though he
actually finished that season with the Rangers, the team that lost the World
Series, after a midseason trade.
Originally signed by the (then) California Angels as an amateur free agent in
1993, Molina earned $33.48MM in his career, per Baseball-Reference.
