Happy Holidays to all the San Francisco Giants fans out there from SF Giants Rumors!
Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle (via twitter) confirmed that the Giants have signed former Giant Brian Burres to a minor league deal. They’re also talking to 1st rounder (2000 draft) Boof Bonser for a minor league deal.
Burres was drafted by the Giants, and was later designated for assignment to make room on the roster for Jose Vizcaino.
Bonser was also drafted by the Giants and was traded to the Twins in a package deal for fan favorite (not really) A.J. Pierzynski.
It appears that the Giants are looking for the same magic that they got from signing Ryan Vogelsong.

Former San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds finished his scandal-shortened career with a Major League record 2,558 walks.
Even though he hasn’t stepped into a batter’s box in four years, Bonds got another free pass last week when he was sentenced to what basically amounts to a slap on the wrist for his conviction in an obstruction of justice charge against...

The big bat on just about every Giants fan Christmas list just signed with the Cardinals for a very reasonable 2 year $26 million deal. When the news of the years and money involved broke over twitter, a justified freak out session broke out among Giants fans, why couldn't the Giants swing this deal?
It would have been understandable if the Giants didn't want to go three...

2000: Hoping to fill the void created by the departure of Ellis Burks, the Giants sign veteran outfielder Eric Davis to a one-year, $1.5 million contract. The Players Choice Awards’ “Man of the Year” had considered retirement, but the lure of more playing time changes his mind.

The Giants were 12th in the majors in Net Bases Gained, with 38 bases gained, which includes bases taken while...

The Cardinals signed Carlos Beltran today to a two-year $25MM deal. It’s an extremely reasonable contract, and one that has the potential to be a bargain if Beltran manages to stay healthy. But even if he doesn’t (which is obviously the more likely scenario), even if he misses 100+ games over the next two years, it’s a pretty solid contract. The Giants had talks...

…. Epic fail
Sabean couldn’t figure out a way to make this happen? That sure seems like an inexpensive, short-term risk, sort of like the one he threw away on Mark DeRosa, for instance; with the exception of being a risk on a player who actually is a great hitter when healthy.
