Why do people continually bring him up as a power hitter the Giants "could have" signed? He's never shown the slightest inkling in getting involved in a deal, and, if Sabean had overpaid for him (an almost certainty, given his disdain for AT&T) you'd all be chalking this up as another "bonehead"move by Sabean, overpaying for a "proven Major League veteran".

Bottom line, signing Edgar Renteria for 2 years and $18.5M to replace last year's shortstops is a better deal for the Giants then they would of got if the had signed Adam Dunn at $20M to replace last year's firstbasemen. John,

If Renteria is 33, Randy Johnson is 33. Sabean has a penchant for Jenny Craig dropouts. One only has to look at Sabes, to understand why he likes to surround himself with the Cool Whip for Lunch Bunch. The Giants may not finish first in the NL West, but nobody will ever beat them to the post game spread. You left out the part that Edgardo Alfatso the Second is 38 not “33″.
