A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Well, it’s not my money so I guess I don’t REALLY care, but that is an unreal stupid amount of money to give a reliever who isn’t even the stone-cold 8th inning guy. Yeah, yeah, he can get righties out, too. That’s not worth 3 years/18 million.

If this is just ownership opening their bursting purse strings then by all means, spend away. But if the operating budget is still at 130 million I don’t like this move at all.

I would have MUCH rather had them put this $$$$ towards signing Bourn or Upton. And I didn’t want them to sign either one of those guys.

Shit, if Affeldt is worth 18 (based off that idiotic deal the Dodgers gave League) then why not just pick Bee Wheezy up for 6.2 and not even bat an eyelash…..

And Pagan HAS to get signed now, right? If you aren’t even gonna send him a qualifier but you’ve got no problem handing Jeremy Freaking Affeldt 18 million dollars, then you have to pay Angel whatever he wants? Right?

Here are the players *most similar* to Affeldt according to baseball-reference.com:

See any guys on that list who look like they’re worth 18 mil over 3 years? Even if you adjust it to the time they played?

This will be proven to be a bad contract in a couple of years…….
