Orlando Hudson and the San Francisco Giants: Meet the old GM, same as the old GM
McCovey Chronicles —
... Kevin Frandsen and Eugenio Velez should never, ever, never, ever stand in the way of a team looking to sign a free agent. As fallback options, they’re not bad, but fallback options are all they should be.

After saving my allowance for a few weeks, I’d have this newfound surplus of cash, and damned if I wasn’t going to spend it on the latest line of Toy Biz X-Men action figures to grace the racks at KayBee.

South Side Sox —
... this season, but otherwise no other big name free agents have drawn anything resembling a bidding war.
