This deal is mehhh
I'm ok w/ 10 mil, considering he was asking 12-14, and upton a .245 hitter got 15 mil a year. I'd say we got the hometeam discount. Next up scutaro
damn, i guess i would have to stop dreaming Swisher in a Giants uni
I can live with this. Definitely not thrilled by any means though. Is this team really going to roll with the same exact lineup they used in the playoffs?
Hairston/Blanco platoon would make a ton of sense and is very feasible. Though I will still be hoping for much better than that.
BA isn't a good way to judge a hitter's worth, though Upton wasn't as good as people think he is.Quote:

Best part about this news? No Victorino.
I'd actually take Hairston over Ludwick all day.
I think we could probably still afford Swisher, this contact essentially replaces Huff's contract on the books. I am not exactly sure where the Giants currently stand budget wise but this isn't a crippling move financially.
We can only hope.Quote:
