Giants spend $12 million to retain Sanchez
Circling The Bases —
[image] The Giants could have gone out and picked up Felipe Lopez or Ronnie Belliard to fill a colossal hole at second base at midseason, but they guessed wrong and picked Freddy Sanchez. They may well have lost the NL West in the process. Not that they deserved to have things turn out so badly. Sanchez was hitting .296/.334/.442 when the Pirates when the Pirates opted to move him at the deadline. That decision was reached not long after Sanchez reportedly turned down a two-year, $10 million extension to stay in Pittsburgh. The rejection was a no-brainer for Sanchez. At the time, he was on pace to see his $8.1 million option for 2009 vest, and he knew he'd be worth ...

- Carlos Garcia is the new 1st base/infield coach for the Bucs. Garcia, who played for the Pirates for 7 years from 1990-1996 and was an all-star in 1994 has been the team's minor league fielding instructor the past 2 seasons. Garcia held a similar role (3rd base coach/IF instructor) with the Mariners between 2005-2007. The Mariners led the majors in fielding percentage in '05 and finished in the top 5 in both '06 and '07. So it seems like a good hire to me. - Freddy Sanchez has signed a 2-year, $12 million contract with the Giants. Sanchez had declined a 2-year, $10 million offer from the Pirates earlier in '09 before being traded, so it seems ...
