    There is no doubt in my mind Omar should be and HoF guy and in 20 years Renteria will be thought of as often as Roy Smalley is now days. I am kind of getting a little tired of the 2009 Renteria vs. Viquel straw man.

    This is the 2009 Viquel which means at least 700+ innings of play from vastly inferior production if the Giants had stayed with Omar. Vizquel played 658 (rounding up) innings last year and just what are the odds he plays 500 innings this season? Real small. Renteria should be on the field at least 1K innings so he offers 500 innings of production that Bocock, Oacha , young Burriss, Velz, excreta just can’t match in 2009. And every inning over 1k is both another inning the Giants don’t have that toxic lack of production on the field from the later group and farther reduces the accuracy of comparing 2009 Omar to 2009 Renteria.

    Sorry just had to rant a bit. And I figured if I was too far off base this would be a spot that would set me straight. Besides over all I greatly appreciate Brown taking the time to post and Baggs talking him into doing it.

    The Giants have a black hole at SS and HAD to sign a free agent. Renteria will be adequate. He’s getting paid a lot to be average, but I can live with it for two years. Maybe we’ll have a SS in the organization by then that can step up.
