SoxFanForever Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Just saw on the ESPN News ticker that the Pads have reportedly re-signed Brian Giles. More info as it becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Woa! Two mild shockers within the past eight hours. Personally, I'm glad the Padres were able to keep him in San Diego. That will make for a lot of happy San Diegins... San Diegoans... San Diegoens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFanForever Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2242891 3 Years/$30 Million. Smarter than offering him 5/55 I suppose heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Haha, wasn't 3/30 the number thrown around right at the start of the offseason? Good sign for the Pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Bad news for fantasy owners! He would have been a bargain player as his numbers would have spiked outside of Petco. He took a hometown discount, pretty admirable. I guess the Cardinals amp up their pursuits of Zito/Burnett and Huff/Jacque Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 1, 2005 -> 03:29 PM) Definitely a good signing for the Padres. Absolutely. Their offense as bad it is, would have just become that much worse without Giles. They're already losing Hernandez, and Miggy Olivo is likely taking over as the everyday C unless they sign Brad Ausmus. So re-signing Giles was absolutely crucial for them, because guys like Vinny Castilla, well, they ain't upgrades. Will be interesting to see how Mike Cameron does for them at Petco though. Probably won't have good offensive numbers, but he'll be very valuable for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good sign for the Pads. At least recently the last numbers I remember seeing from the Pads were something like $24-$27 million for 3 years, so I think this is a bit of a jump. That's at least a reasonable contract for him everything else being equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historians believe its German for a Whale's Vagina, but the phrase is so old that nobody's really sure anymore. So, for those of us who have been kinda in a baseball blackout since the "Really Good Thing" happened a month ago, who was courting Giles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cubs certainly had some stake in it, although I think they chickened out on the dollars. The Jays were obviously the high bidders. The Cardinals had an interest but were told that Giles would give no discount to play for the Cardinals. The Yankees were interested but they have about 500 circuses going at once. I think the Red Sox would have gotten involved if the Manny saga had been figured out before Giles signed anywhere. THose were some of the players anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
