The San Francisco Giants informed outfielder Randy Winn today that they will not be bringing the one time fan favorite back . Winn, 35, has played for the Giants for almost five seasons. After coming to the Giants in the middle of the 2005 season, Winn had one of the best 50 game stretches in recent MLB history, hitting nearly .360 with 14 home runs in only 58 games. Injuries and age caught up with the vet in the past two seasons as his numbers and game began to fade. Winn is regarded as the best to ever play right field at SBC Park.

... On to today's news: Baggs reports that Randy Winn's services are no longer needed in the House of Mays. It's no surprise, but let's pause to officially acknowledge that Randy Winn was a good Giant. He was not a good Giant hitter in 2009 or 2006, when he hobbled around much of the year after fouling spherical objects off his shinbone. But his defense, baserunning, and offense for more than half his Giant career added up to being more valuable than the three year, $23 million extension Brian Sabean gave him in 2006. Whatever you do, however you mock Sabean, you cannot put ...
