[h1]Giants Negotiating With Pat Burrell[/h1]
By Mark Polishuk [May 27 at 8:34pm CST]

According to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, Pat Burrell and the Giants are "in the 'talking stages' " about a minor-league contract for the veteran slugger.  Schulman notes that nothing is imminent between the two sides because Burrell "does have other options he is mulling."

San Francisco was rumored to be a possible destination for the veteran right-handed slugger.  Though Schulman reported last week that the Giants had "no serious interest" in Burrell, Schulman writes that the club's perspective has changed since Burrell is apparently now open to a minor-league deal.  Burrell is said to prefer a return to the National League, which isn't surprising given his struggles with the Rays but it will mean that his below-average glove can't be hidden in a DH role.

Provided that Burrell greatly improves on the .672 OPS he posted in Tampa Bay over the last two seasons, his right-handed bat could provide some nice balance for the Giants.  Of the Giants' current corner outfield options, Aubrey Huff, Nate Schierholtz and John Bowker are all left-handed hitters, and switch-hitting Andres Torres is experiencing a reversal in his career splits this season by hitting right-handers much better than he's hitting lefties.  Right-handed hitting Mark DeRosa is currently on the DL with a wrist injury and visited a specialist about his wrist today, though Schulman tweets that San Fran's interest in Burrell isn't related to any concerns about DeRosa's health.

Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News tweetsthat "many people believe" the Yankees will designate Randy Winn forassignment when Curtis Granderson returns from the DL.  Feinsand believes the Yanks should keep Winn and instead send Kevin Russo back to the minors.

So it looks like Pat Burrell is a San Francisco Giant.......

Found this little jewel on the giants board....ralph went IN on Sabean today....what a clueless, defensive, fool....this guy REFUSES to take full responsibility for this disaster.....this is how you sound when the ship is sinking

[dland24]

Wow. Brian Sabean just doesnt get it. I listened to the whole thing with non stop head shaking.

Ralph is normally a lame, but he goes IN on people sometimes. When he talked to Scott Mccloughen before last season......

.  And this one as well.
That cage jacket Winn has is 

 by the way.

^Cosign one of the main reasons I don't listen to their show. They are both real soft when it comes to interviews. And the Razor just beats boring topics to death sometimes.

As much blame as Sabean gets which is all justified I'm really starting to think the 1-2 punch of him Larry Baer is really holding us back.

I wonder does Sabean ever listen to D Bruce

 

[patrickcakes]

F55: Thanks man, good look. I saw that on signingshotline. I need Cepeda and Perry to finish the HOFers. I'll get them if the price is decent.

It definitely looks like Burrell will sign a AAA contract with the Giants, which means after a week in Fresno, he'll be in SF and TI/Bowker will be gone.

As for the Sabean interview, didn't he mention Buster will be up "soon"? Probably right after the Super Two date, I hope. Can't wait to see what cry baby Bengie does.

 

[franchise 55]

It's $39 per person or $100 for all three.

 

[lb510]

 

[what up]

You guys know what would be stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid?

If the Giants decided to extend the guy that gave Rowand $60 million and Zito $62352 bajillion and Renteria $9 per season.

Right? Right? You get where I'm coming from? I knoooooooooooooooooooooooooow, right?

It'd be stupid doo doo dumb, man.

Anyway, TK beating the Posey horse some more.

 

[tim lincecum]

LazyJ, put up that Rowand sig again. Once again, he's doing terrible.

It's the least you can do.

 

[lazyj10]

it's just a pain in the *#% to keep after. I wish there was a script to allow it to update automatically...I'm just that lazy.

You should cut down on all the categories. You went Bill James, sabermetrics on us.

Average. Runners left on base. Double players. And $9.6 million.

 

[lazyj10]

The 9.6M speaks enough volume for the likes of Aaron Rowand.

 

[franchise 55]

I have a hard enough time keeping up with Lincecum, and that's only every fifth day.
