says that Rowand was also Magowan's signing.

Thread:

Lincecum gets exactly what he wanted, but he also assumes the greater risk - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-24 14:53:43 (85 views)
- i get the feeling that these will be the last 2 years we see the freak in a giant uni. if that fat f*** fielder can get that kind of a contract, somebody's going to pony up big time for timmy (yankees or bosox) - skontch 2012-01-24 17:23:52 (31 views)
  - considering timmay has lost his fastball for 3 straight years signing him to a two year deal is fine - fatal 2012-01-25 17:28:58 (19 views)
  - Two thoughts on that - Earl j. Slick 2012-01-25 08:20:33 (56 views)
    - That's what I've said all along - Hawk_941 2012-01-25 16:56:25 (20 views)
    - Not to mention pitching in the NL and in one of the most pitcher friendly parks in the league - MoonMan 2012-01-25 10:21:05 (20 views)
      - Great point. I think that's one reason Matt Cain wants a long term deal. - starburst 2012-01-25 19:48:40 (16 views)
  - Sabean signed Zito and Rowand to stupid monster deals, and offered $100 M to Timmy, so I can't criticize Detroit signing Fielder. - juan 2012-01-24 20:59:03 (60 views)
    - Juan, Sabean didn't sign or want Zito. That was Magowan. This has been confirmed by different reporters many times. In my post I copied a tweet from Henry Schulman 5 days ago - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-25 18:17:06 (19 views)

        If that's the case I'd actually be glad. - Earl j. Slick 2012-01-25 08:13:45 (11 views)
        
        I doubt it. The Sabean supporters will be whining about the weak hitting in June. - juan 2012-01-25 08:35:05 (17 views)
        
        This is the kind of shit I was talking about below? - Earl j. Slick 2012-01-25 14:23:41 (25 views)
        
        The other issue could be choosing Mike Fontenot over Jeff Keppinger. - juan 2012-01-25 22:40:36 (22 views)
        
        Sabean doesn't set the budget, ownership does. Keppinger earned $2.3MM last year and would have obtained a raise through arbitration in the neighborhood of $3-4 Million for 2012 - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-25 23:01:46 (20 views)
        
        This. - starburst 2012-01-26 07:04:02 (10 views)
        
        It's not just me. A lot of fans think Sabean hasn't done enough to get the G-men back into the playoffs. - juan 2012-01-25 21:43:16 (26 views)
        
        "It's not just me. A lot of fans think Sabean hasn't done enough." Ok, Juan what move(s) did you want Sabean to make? - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-25 21:54:11 (13 views)
        
        Sign Josh Willingham instead of giving money to Affeldt. - juan 2012-01-25 22:18:42 (19 views)
        
        If Sabean had signed Willingham instead of picking up Affeldt's club option, where are you going to get the extra $2.5 Million from? - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-25 22:52:03 (20 views)
        
        What? You never heard of a trade. If you're a buyer, then you make your best deals now. Hope you don't have to deal next year unless you're a seller. - juan 2012-01-26 14:44:19 (11 views)
        
        Yes, I've heard of a trade and I don't need your sarcastic remarks. - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-26 18:45:29 (15 views)
        
        Let it go, Earl - Hawk_941 2012-01-25 16:53:44 (16 views)
  - I don't know that he would want to be in either of those places. A hair cut would be mandatory in NY. Boston? East Coast fans are jerks. Tim is a West Coast guy. - starburst 2012-01-24 20:51:33 (14 views)
    - hey..i'm an east coast guy..but i'm a giant fan since '65..i'm not a jerk, right sb?? - skontch 2012-01-24 21:04:09 (20 views)
      - skontch, I apologize for that. - starburst 2012-01-25 09:40:48 (9 views)
        
        no prob sb..we're all here to root for our beloved giants..no matter where we come from.. - skontch 2012-01-25 12:27:54 (7 views)
      - Nope - Giants fan. Seriously, though, can you see him being happy in N.Y. or Boston? A seattle guy? - starburst 2012-01-25 05:19:12 (15 views)
        
        And nuschler is a great guy, too. It's fans of East Coast teams gathered in large numbers at stadiums where the jerks come out en masse. Not every Phillies fan would spit or throw up on people, but if it's going to happen, that's where you'd expect it, e.g. - starburst 2012-01-25 05:22:09 (5 views)
      - Pops was a NY Giants fan? - Hawk_941 2012-01-24 23:28:45 (9 views)
        
        my father was a yankee fan. maybe that's why i picked a team 3000 miles away. that, and mays, marichal, willie mac, jim ray hart, etc. - skontch 2012-01-25 06:05:54 (7 views)
