I like francis too, good experiment at least for fifth starter. SIGN HIM AND KURODA
doyers
they would not be able to afford both.they should just sign Kuroda and make Rubby De La Rosa the fifth starter.And we also have Nathan Eovaldi or Dana Eveland who become the fifth starter 2.
John 87
I think he’s having TJ surgery.
thegrayrace
De La Rosa is not expected to play in 2012, TJ surgery. Eovaldi would be the 5th starter.

Make that $125 MM if Sabean is able to offload recently signed Jeremy Affeldt ($5 MM). Unless that extra 5 mil is absorbed in some of the other deals the Giants are trying to consummate.

show me the money!
Evan Olson
Please Ned sign Kuroda. Our best pitcher outside of Kershaw. I would hate to see a rotation without him. If we can’t get Kuroda please at least get Harang, all the others are trash.
Nookster
I hate to see the rotation with or without him.

Fans want an owner with passion and money? You don’t say…
vtadave
Guessing Frank McCourt didn’t quite meet that criteria.

He had money and passion to buy houses…..lol
angryredmenace
Frankie had passion to buy houses, but not the money.That’s why he raided the dodgers and accumulated so much debt.

130 is workable…just depends on who they offer arbitration to. We don’t need Torres, Ross, Keppinger, Whiteside. We could afford Beltran, Cuddyer or Willingham.

I would say keep Keppinger. With health issues as 2B, and a question mark at SS, it might be good to keep a steady glove/bat on the bench. But I agree on the rest.
I do however disagree on signing Willingham. He might have a slightly positive WAR, but his UZR is horrible, and would want more than 5 mill a year. Why not get try to get J.D. Drew on a 1 year deal to play left?
55saveslives
Fontenot is cheaper than Keppinger since we need to save. Willingham will get at least 10 mill a year. I don’t care what his UZR is, he will be in LF for us. His 25-30HR power is what I want 🙂

Harang, Capuano, Francis … let’s call the whole thing off, as the song goes.

The “joys” of being a Padres fan include reading NL West notes that don’t include anything about them.

Last off season it was A-Gon this and A-Gon that. Now that the Padres have “nothing” and no plans to change that, what do you expect?
Donald Munson
I don’t expect much these days.
Patrick the Pragmatist
I think Chone Figgins fits in well in the Giants ballpark.

Heard this: Ned Colletti preparing 3 year/$9M figure for Rey Ordonez.

Joe Saunders? At 8.7 million? It’s a Christmas miracle (for the rest of the NL West).
Why give a pay raise to a guy who clearly outperformed his peripherals?
