Pierzynski trade. <BR/><BR/>In addition, many fans are holding Sabean to his pledge of getting younger, about which he also said that any deal he does will be with a view to the long term as well as the short term.<BR/><BR/>Nathan would not fit either of them, he would be same old, same old, because he's 33 years old (current closer candidate with strongest chances of winning is Brian Wilson, 26 I think), and then the Giants would have to pay him a lot per year for a long time to get an extension when they need to save payroll for middle of lineup hitters. In addition, they would have to give up good prospects for him when their system is not that bursting with talent, it would totally deplete their system to get him, assuming the Twins are looking to ask for a lot.<BR/><BR/>What makes you "expect" the Giants to be interested?obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.com
