Brian Wilson is now a free agent.

[Mr. LA]

Dodgers for 4 reasons ....

1. He's good, he will improve our bullpen and our team
2. He will come relatively cheap
3. He will bring that "umph" we need to win the WS, we are too boring right now
4. It will kill Giant fans

[SACNYY]

The internets say the Dodgers have interest. That'd be very funny.

1. He's coming off a second Tommy John, he is a huge question mark
2. He and his agent think he's worth $9M/year which is why he isn't willing to negotiate w/ the Giants after being non-tendered, that's not cheap
3. You're absolutely right, personality wins championships, a boring team could never win a ring
4. It certainly wouldn't kill me...

1. He has said throughout the whole Giants season that he has been throwing pain free for while now
2. I heard he can be had for a deal similar to Ryan Madson's deal ....1 year/3.5 million
3. Personaility was obviously the #1 reason the Giants have 2 championships in 3 years
4. Are you sure about that? I already have a friend who is a Giants fan who said he wouldn't be happy if he signed with us

[lolPhillies]

Wilson will probably be a Dodger since he said they would be his second choice. Looks like the Dodgers are still taking the Giants sloppy seconds even after the big change in ownership.

And some Dodger fan earlier in the off season tried to tell me that wouldn't happen anymore. Hope they overpay him too.

[Jeffy25]

I think he'll be an awesome signing for whoever gets him

[sfgiants5518]

Praying for Agent Ned to swoop in and give him a stupid deal.

[YoungStuna28]

I want him on the Mets so bad.

[Mr. LA]

Yeah without all Wilson's tatics amongst other players Giants probably wouldn't be Champions right now ... oh and Uribe's clutch hits

1. He was also just basically tossing the ball from like 30 feet. The least amount of stress he could put on his elbow. Much different from throwing 95+ fastballs and sliders on a mound from 60ft 6inches.

2. You heard wrong then. If that was the case he'd of signed a contract with the Giants already. Maybe eventually his price may come down, but not right now.

3. No.

4. It wouldn't kill me either.

I'm not agreeing with you, because you don't seem to be in a totally balanced mental state, but don't you mean Renteria and not Uribe?

Also, personality does have something to do with winning, but it isn't just one personality, it's the context of the clubhouse culture that the specific personality fits into.

If Kevin Millar and Johnny Damon had played for the Rockies in 2004, do you think the Rockies would have made and won the World Series that year?

I get banned for saying my opinion about baseball ... which is what the forums are for ... and people don't get banned for saying stuff like this ... mods choose to ban me for good thought opinions just because they don't agree with me

Didn't you say Romo was the only Giants relief pitcher that could pitch for the Dodgers? And her be like a 6th inning pitcher at that???

[MetsFanatic19]

I wish the Mets were good, just so they could sign this man.
