Goldy, Greinke, Pollock, thats a good core to build around fo' sho'.

Giants sign Samardzija

shitty consolation prize
gotta get 1 of Leake or Kazmir for me to feel okay about it

Would like Alex Gordon too

Yeah pretty much the way I looked at it after losing out on Zimmerman/Greinke.. and if all rumors are true it's at least 5 yrs 90+mil which is quite a bit for someone who is 30 years old and only had 1 good year.

I agree, it's a shocking number to see. Just gotta remember baseball salaries are inflating at a huge rate

RIP benji

It's big money obviously, but he goes from one of the worst defensive teams and worst pitcher's parks in baseball to one of the best defensive teams and the best pitcher's park in baseball

It is but then you look at it that he's almost being paid as well as Zimmerman and he's no where near the quality of Zimmerman.


Thank you Beane for Addison Russell for him

Yeah, it's definitely less than ideal. I feel better about it than giving Cueto 150M+ though.

ZiPS projects this for Shark in SF:




If he performs at those numbers, it's a good deal.
