Oh, good. Another note out there that Brian Sabean is talking to a SS that will likely do more harm than good. Fantastic. That makes my day absolutely, especially considering what the market has been getting this year. Clint Barmes, 2 years and $10.5MM. Jamey Carroll 2 year, $6.75MM. Mark Ellis 2 year, $8.75MM. Oh yea, fan-friggin-tastic. Or to sum it up in the words of Joe Sheehan:

Actually, Joe, Brian Sabean would tell you it worked two times ago by using his ring finger to prove that point. I don’t remember Edgar Renteria’s contract anymore because I choose not to, but I believe it was something like 2 years and $40MM with a 3rd year option to play for $1MM that Edgar was offended by or something. Whatever. Edgar wasn’t worth his contract but he was pivotal in bringing home a trophy for San Francisco.

If this Alex Gonzalez thing doesn’t work out, with his 15 HR in nearly 600 PA and his oh so sexy 3.7 BB% and rally killing 21.7 K% and .270 OBP in 2011, there’s always Yuniesky Betancourt, who is the joke among blogsters but actually have nightmares of a press conference of him sitting next to Brian Sabean and Bruce Bochy talking about how he “crosses the plate and we need that” sort of banter.

However, IF we do uh… have the … fortune.. to sign Alex Gonzalez it better be at a Juan Uribe 2010 price of 1 year, $3MM. None of that Miguel Tejada garbage, Brian! Learn your lesson! But we all know if he does sign an old SS it won’t be that low. It’ll be in the $5-$7MM range because we need a bat gosh darnit and Yuniesky Gonzalez is the answer so Crawford can get some ABs in the AFL.
