The Giants need more GOOD pitchers.
Woot! Goldschmidt, Pollack, Corbin, Greinke and Shelby Miller. We’re building our own All Star Team. We got two Zacks full on the mound. Greinke and Godley.
I believe Greinke said he would go wherever the most money was offered.
Brian Sabean said the Giants wouldn’t go for a sixth year. One story had the Giants offering $195 million.
Guy isn’t worth the money for a six year contract. He had three good seasons, last year was a monster, but is bound to regress to his norm.
The Giants didn’t want to spend that kind of money
for that length of a contract period. We’ll see how
they do with Samardzija who didn’t tear it up
w/the Chisox last season. Let the Dodgers, Red Sox,
Yanks try to buy their way into the series. The Giants
don’t roll that way to their credit.
Because a guy who only plays every 5th game is grossly over priced at 34 million a year. I know the MLB cap is just a suggestion, but damn are they over paying. And that means they’ll suck for the length of this contract, plus probably just as long on the other side as they try to rebuild. Fastest way to kill a team is overpaying for talent.
Timmy and Matt are going to make wonderful recoveries and they win their 4th in this millennium.. Leakes is insurance.. Too bad Aoki is gone.
Oh vell.
That’s, what...207k a game?
They did get Samardzija, who's not quite in Greinke's class, but is a pretty good pitcher. Suppose they get another good, not great, pitcher and maybe a hitter. Would that be a more effective use of their money than tying it up in one player?
Is this good enough for you?

Add that to the prior signing of Samardzija, as well as "incumbents" Bumgarner and Peavy, and they have quite a rotation!
