Hey, it looks like the Giants offered Rich Aurilia a minor league deal similar to the one that Juan Uribe got. Fringe utility middle infielders? Gotta catch’em all. Per Baggs: For now, one development to share: Sabean said the Giants made Rich Aurilia an offer for a non-guaranteed contract similar to what they gave Juan [...]

Is it true? Could it be true? Have the Giants finally backed away from Pedro Feliz? Words from Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle: Pedro Feliz apparently is gone, with Sabean saying, “We made a two-year offer, which he rejected.

Still not much baseball news going on (outside of the 24/7 Roger Clemens drama on ESPN which is fastly turning into a he-said she-said deal) but a few nuggets of information were posted this morning by Henry Schulman of the San Fransico Chronicle on free-swinging-should-be-gold-gloving 3B Pedro Feliz.
