Bengie Molina went 2-for-4 with a double and a pair of RBIs

Bengie Molina went 2-for-4 with a double and a pair of RBIs Tuesday.

Analysis: That’s five hits in the last two nights for the eldest Molina, who had gone hitless in his previous 12 at-bats before busting out. Despite tailing off a bit in the run producing department, the elder statesman still leads all Major League catchers with 45 RBIs and ranks third with 14 doubles.

Giants interested in V-Mart

The San Francisco Giants are scouting Victor Martinez in their search for offensive help, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View: The Giants are also scouting the White Sox Jermaine Dye and the Royals Mark Teahen. While those two are very solid players, Martinez is a level above them at this point, and would offer a massive upgrade to the Giants' puny offense. The only problem for the Giants is the fact that they have Bengie Molina entrenched at catcher, meaning Martinez would have to play mostly first base. Still, it is a problem the Giants would likely love to have.

Bengie Molina went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI against

Bengie Molina went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI against St. Louis on Monday.

Analysis: Molina doesn't get on base if he's not hitting -- he has just three walks in 263 at-bats and just a .268 on-base percentage -- and lately he hasn't been hitting. While he entered Monday's game on a 2-for-19 (.105) skid, he snapped out of it nicely thanks to three singles. On-base issues to the side, Molina is a solid fantasy catcher, especially in NL-only formats, and should get back in the swing soon.

Molina batted just .200 in May, but he appears to be getting

The catcher has a four-game hitting streak as he's remained

The catcher has a four-game hitting streak as he's remained in the cleanup spot. There was talk about manager Bruce Bochy shifting Molina from the spot given his meager .257 batting average, but he seems set at the four spot for now. His 34 RBIs are the third-most for any catcher in the Majors.

Molina drives in two

Bengie Molina was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI in the Giants' 3-2 win over the Marlins on Sunday.

Our View: The slugging backstop now has 34 RBI on the season, but he has been slumping lately. After a hot April, he hit just .200 in the month of May. Looks like he couldn't wait for June as he's collected at least on hit in all but one game this month.

Manager Bruce Bochy said on Friday that he had considered inserting

Manager Bruce Bochy said on Friday that he had considered inserting Pablo Sandoval in the four-hole to replace Molina, who's hitting 8-for-59 (.136) in his last 15 games. But a two-hit performance on Friday -- his first multi-hit effort during the slump -- might help convince Bochy to let him stay at the four spot. In any case, it's a situation worth tracking given the obvious benefit of batting cleanup.
