Via Hank Schulman, Cody Ross wants to sign with the Giants this offseason. Schulman has exchanged emails with Ross, and Ross has said:
“I have talked to them briefly, but no negotiations have taken place. They have interest and so do i. Hoepfully we can get something done.”
Ross’ season (.240/.325/.405), which I recently reviewed, wasn’t particularly impressive — but he was certainly of value (especially with the 49 walks he drew in 461 plate appearances).

Team Fielding Series: San Francisco Giants
The defending World Champs were doomed from the get-go. Their 2010 victory was built on a house of cards. Of course, that is what makes baseball fun. They pitched over their heads and had a run of good luck down the stretch. This year, they weren’t so lucky.
Buster Posey went down early in the season, and Aubrey Huff turned back into a pumpkin. If it weren’t for Pablo...
