And I suspect the "arb clock" issue is also part of the Buster equation. At a certain point, though, Buster has to get the call and, at the very least, replace Whiteside. Molina has logged a LOT of innings behind the plate for the Giants and will likely start fading (his career wOBA is .312, it was .308 last season). The best-case scenario is that Buster will be the regular catcher in the 2nd half and Molina becomes a valuable reserve. But I doubt if Bochy would EVER start Buster over Bengie unless Bengie was hurt.M.C.
