HOW MAN WEEKS UNTIL PITCHERS AND MOLINAS REPORT?:

Rangers’ Molina gets a ring no matter what (Steve Henson, 10/24/10, Yahoo)

Molina also was the Giants’ catcher from 2007 until July 1 of this year, when he was traded to Texas for reliever Chris Ray(notes) and minor leaguer Michael Main. Ray, a reliever who pitched credibly for both teams, also could end up with a ring regardless who wins, although the Giants haven’t put him on their playoff rosters.

Molina played 61 games for San Francisco and 57 games for Texas during the regular season. He has sparkled during the postseason, batting .333 with two homers and seven RBIs in nine games.
