5 year deal, mlb.com is reporting. I've never been happier to not acquire a player. Time to get creative KW. Interesting timing as well.

Oh god....Coco Crisp....WEEEEEEEE. Not that I don't have a problem with Coco, its just I had higher expectations. I can't imagine what Dye is going to call KW and say now.

Red Sox won't move him until the Santana stuff is cleared up. I'd be more concerned about Juan Pierre being on his way to the Sox. Maybe Rowand signing will allow KW to look for more creative solutions.

I do predict we'll get another KW media rant soon.

God we suck. Is there anyone else left out there that we can miss on?

It's a blessing, it really is. I'm as negative as it gets, and this is a positive for the Sox.

I agree. This would not have been the piece to help the Sox.

 

Wow. Now THAT is pretty surprising. I really figured he's sign with the Sox.

Giants agreed to terms with outfielder Aaron Rowand, who had been witht he Phillies, on a five-year contract.

 

The Giants were lucky last year when they missed out on Gary Matthews Jr. and Juan Pierre despite competitive offers. Still, no one really expected Brian Sabean to learn his lesson. Rowand gets a five-year deal at what's surely more than $10 million per season (probably at least $12 million) despite having just two particularly good seasons under his belt. He's a fine player even when he's posting 750 OPSs, but he's probably not going to age well because of the way he throws his body around and he's not the big-time middle-of-the-order threat the Giants needed. The team was already paying Randy Winn and Dave Roberts as if they were center fielders. Dec. 12 - 3:48 pm et

How bout we wait to see the numbers before more complaining?

 

Meanwhile, I'm suprised the Sox didn't up their bid. Not that Rowand is what this team needs.

Thank you Brian Sabean!

Another year of Jerry Owens/ Brian Anderson/ whoever else they can find in the minors who can't get the job done.....I hope like hell KW proves me wrong though. Not that I wanted ARow back though.

This is Brian Anderson and Ryan Sweeney's big chance.

 

It could also very well mean that we see Ryan Fields in LF in spring training and Joe Crede back with the Sox in 2008.

 

EDIT: Wow, try Josh Fields

It's a blessing, it really is. I'm as negative as it gets, and this is a positive for the Sox.

^^ that

If his name pops up tomorrow, I'll probably do something I regret.

Well this should liven things up around here.

You know what's sad? As bad as things have gone the past few weeks, Williams is having a better off-season this year than last year. He's at least upgraded shortstop. Last year, he needed a new LF, CF and SS. But he DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT CRY AND WHINE AND ACQUIRE ANDREW SISCO. He's paying for it now. Oh, so are we.

Who is Ryan Fields and what happened to Jerry Quentin and Jermaine Owens Dye?

 

Anyway, thank you Brian Sabean!!!!

Whew.

No, Torii Hunter was. Good thing we came up short on that one.

 

Bullet, we have dodged thee!

Hey Kenny-the Death Star is finished

 

As are your 1 A-Z plans

I wanted him here....Glad he got his payday though.

Actually that just saved us from a Kenny overpay. 5 years for Rowand for that money is not a good investment. Now this will break the hearts of the "Lets get the band back together" club.
