Move The Fences Back

Looks like the San Quentin Giants may be landing a high-profile free agent in the near future.

I can dream

Just a few moments ago I saw on the headlines on ESPN.com that Brian Sabean for the Giants said that getting A-Rod was a reach, but he would explore the option. By that statement I am judging that the chances for the Giants to get A-Rod would be slim to none. I am just going to warn you that I am about to use some thick sarcasm here... Why wouldn't A-Rod want to go to the Giants. He would be on an instant loser for the next few years. On top of that, his production would probably go down being he is a rightie and Pac Bell, I mean SBC, I mean At&t park is not right handed friendly.

Other than that, he would be stupid to not sign with the Giants. There are several other suitors that would be better for him. The Cubs come to mind as being the front runner. They would give A-Rod the part ownership and they have the cash to spend. They also seem like they are close to getting over the hump possibly. Another good possibility might be the Angels as much as it hurts me to say that. That would be scary if the Angels got A-Rod. I wouldn't mind having him or Vlad. Which reminds me, Vlad was the steal of this century. What were the Giants thinking? They weren't obviously. Everytime I see Vlad I cringe.

The only ray of hope that I have for the Giants and A-Rod is Scott Boras. You might be asking yourself how Scott Boras could help? Here's why. Last year at this time he raked the Giants over the coals by getting them to sign an 11 game winner. His name is Barry Zito. He got a 126 million dollar contract. Let me repeat that. He got a 126 million dollar contract!!!!! If Boras could get the Giants to pay that for Zito, imagine what he could get for A-Rod. Maybe another name change to the stadium, 50% ownership and A-Rod's own dugout and clubhouse. That and a 20 years 1 billion dollar contract. The crazy thing is that A-Rod might be worth it.
