Molina tells the Mets 3 years, I hope Omar doesn't do it

According to Ken Davidoff, Bengie Molina wants 3 years, citing deals given to Jason Kendall and Pudge Rodriguez. I for one, hope that Omar does not meet his demands, and instead, signs either A, no one, or B, sign Rod Barajas.
Barajas had a 7.6 RAR (runs above replacement, used for WAR) and then add in his 4.2 Runs for defense (from Driveline Mechanics), which would make for 11.2 RAR, and then added to baserunning, which is -1.6, which is 9.6, which divided by 10 (10 runs per win) leads to a 1 WAR.
Molina was 18 RAR, but added to defense (-3.4) and terrible baserunning (-4.5!!!, one of the worst in the league) makes him at only 10.1 RAR, which is only 1 WAR, just like Barajas. If Barajas can be had for one year, $4 million, do it. Forget Molina.
