And then there's this:The Giants are no longer interested in signing Pedro Feliz.
"We made a two-year offer, which he rejected. We've pretty much moved on from there," said GM Brian Sabean, though it's been reported that Feliz wants to hire new agents and try to sign a one-year deal in San Fran. Joe Crede and Scott Rolen could become targets at third for San Francisco, who is still looking for a regular at the position. The other option would be a platoon of Rich Aurilia and Kevin Frandson, who also figures to see significant time at second base.
Both quotes are kind of screwed up. Rolen has already been traded and the Jays would be dumb to trade him again. The second quote has the Giants as shopping Cain but they haven't. Sabean has already said Cain and Lincecum are off limits. Rotoworld has some idiots if they think Crede is somehow worth Cain and that Cain would be in the back of that awful rotation in Chitown.The Mercury News reports that the Giants will monitor Joe Crede this spring, and if healthy, there's a "good chance" they could acquire him for a pitcher.
The Giants have reportedly been shopping Matt Cain, who would be a solid fit in the back of a Chicago rotation that is starved for experience. Giants special assistant Ron Schueler, the former White Sox GM, has been pushing the team to acquire Crede.
The main point is that the post-Feliz era can finally begin!!!!!
