Even Better

Henry Schulman has tweeted that Juan Uribe’s 1-year deal does not include an option. I’m a little surprised that Uribe couldn’t do better than a 1-year deal without an option. Also, I’m a little surprised that he chose to come back to the Giants with Mark DeRosa on the roster.
Dollars still have not been announced, [...]

Let There Be Jazz!

Jon Heyman tweets (I can’t tell you how much I dislike Twitter):
juan uribe has agreed to deal to go back to #sfgiants, pending physical.
If it’s one thing this team needs, it’s more versatility! Honestly though, bringing back Uribe on the (rumored) 1-year deal with an option isn’t a bad move. He was a plus-defender at [...]

Where I’ve Been, Where I’m Going, and What The H#!LL Are The Giants Doing?

I’m not one for complaining about officiating but yesterday’s [...]

Giants Sign Juan Uribe to Minor League Deal

Just when I thought it would be a slow news day, something happens. Let’s give Juan a quick look-see with my new player value graphs.

Quick Thoughts:

I guess that answers the question of who is going to play shortstop if something happens to Edgar Renteria. At this point in his career, Juan Uribe probably [...]

Rumors That Make You Go “Unnggh”

The Hot Stove League is a time during baseball when everyone and their little brother can create terrible, awful, truly terrible (did I say terrible?) rumors involving the San Francisco Giants professional baseball club team. It’s actually really easy to get the wheels of trade speculation moving. The Giants need a third basemen? Hank Blalock [...]
