Edgar Renteria

 HAPPY NEW YEAR to all Giant fans! College Football is nearly complete, and the Super Bowl is a month away...  And before you know it, Spring will be back in the air, and pitchers and c

I want to see what happens with Manny Burriss as a future short stop. Remember, we still have Edgar Renteria for one more season (the back end of a two year, 18-million-dollar contract - yikes).

A, keep your mouth shut and accept it!      Short Stop: The underachieving Edgar Renteria still has one more year on his contract at $9-million-dollars for 2010 --Ahhhh

rticular line-up, don't screw around with it!!!  That's why it's a bit unsettling to know that Edgar Renteria will likely be back at short stop tonight instead of Juan Uribe.  No, Uribe will definitely be in there at third base, which means Pablo at first, and no Travis Ishikawa (who had two more RBI's last night).  It's impossible to sit Uribe right now.  He had two hits and three more RBI's last night, boosting his average to .289 on the season.  Uribe has four homers and 12 RBI's in his last 10 games.  Bochy needs to right that hot-hand as long as possible.

 I never thought I would see standing ovations and curtain calls for both Barry Zito and Edgar Renteria after what they have gone through.  But that's exactly what happened this weeke

Giants up, facing Jeff Suppan

Emmanuel Burriss - Hit on the first pitch. Suppan must be trying to make up for that unearned double and following run.

Tim Lincecum - Bunts foul. Takes a ball. Notices that 3B Hall is cheating too far in, pulls back that bunt and smacks the ball to left on a high chopping grounder over Hall's head. Burriss was going and makes to third standing up. Excellent play all around. I like the way these Giants are swinging!

I don't know how this would be scored in the scorebook, but the Edgar Renteria signing is a horrible error by GM Brian Sabaen.  There were better SS options on both the free agent and trade markets that were viable options to obtain.  Rafael Furcal (my choice), Khalil Greene, and J.J. Hardy all ranked above Renteria on my list.  I think he'll fit into the lineup, but not the impact player I was hoping for.  Instead, we added another complimentary player to our roster.  Also, the price tag is a huge blunder!  From all of the media reports I've seen, nobody else even offered more than $12 for the two years and we give him $18.5?  WHY?  I don't understand how we're still operating in "Barry Bonds" mode by over paying older free agents to compliment Bonds in the lineup and hope to stay competitive to get to the post season.  News Flash: Barry's gone!

the Tigers have huge questions with their pitching?

The offseason additions of Miguel Cabrera and Edgar Renteria might given Detroit a lineup even more potent than that of the Yankees from the last several years. Getting out of Florida and into a lineup with the protection that he will have in Detroit, Cabrera will probably put up offensive numbers second only to Alex Rodriguez and could contend for a triple crown this year. As a whole, look for the Tigers to top 1000 runs.
