Once again Boch’s influence is riding high as former players just can’t seem to get enough of Bruce. I want to see Bochy use this influence for evil and lure Jake Peavy, Adrian Gonzalez, and Cla Meredith [...]

We all jumped for joy when Brian Sabean started talking about a youth movement. Ray Durham tried to jump for joy but exploded both hamstrings in the process and is now crippled for life. Get well soon, Ray. The Giants have consistently been a team filled to the brim with veteran-savvy goodness (see: geriatric, old). [...]
The Giants have brought back Ray Durham to play second base. Durham, who had his best offensive season last year, nets a 2 year deal worth 14-15 mil. I was hoping that Kevin Frandsen would get a shot to be the starting second basemen but lets face it, the Giants lineup in its current state [...]
