The mass exodus also included catcher Michael Blanke, infielder Tyler Kuhn and outfielders Jared Mitchell and Trayce Thompson, who were reassigned to minor league camp. Molina, who was acquired from the Blue Jays in December for closer Sergio Santos, is the biggest name of the bunch. The 23-year-old right-hander posted a 2.21 ERA and 148/16 K/BB ratio in 130 1/3 innings last season between High-A and Double-A and could find himself in the majors at some point in 2012. |
