In brief: Former Red Affeldt overcomes homophobia
Last game
Mike Leake, fresh off the worries of being demoted to the minors for some up-start rookie, dominated the New York Mets last night, shutting them out for 7 innings, while allowing only 3 hits. The offense used a game plan that I think should be repeated in the future and scored all the runs the team needed in the first. Sure some of it was due to the Mets pretending to be...
Affeldt has grown to love open-minded Bay Area
(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. AP Photo Planned.) By JANIE McCAULEY AP Baseball Writer When Jeremy Affeldt came to the Bay Area as an opposing player, he wouldn't even leave his hotel room. He was admittedly homophobic.
When he joined the San Francisco Giants five years ago, he was determined to get rid of his negative feelings toward the gay population. The transformation...
Jeremy Affeldt returned $500K to SF Giants after noticing an error in his contract
It's seems pretty tough to find a role model in sports these days but, if you look in the dictionary under honesty, Jeremy Affeldt may just fit the description.
In 2010, the relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants says he was overpaid by $500,000 thanks to a contract error that wrongly awarded him more than the $10 million previously agreed upon. The mistake was signed...
Honest Affeldt returns $500K
What would you do if you got your paycheck and realized that you'd been spotted an extra $500,000? What if someone told you that you were within your legal rights to keep it?
Would you give it back?
Because that's exactly what San Francisco Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt did in 2010 after he realized that a potentially expensive clerical error had awarded him a massive...
Jeremy Affeldt Gives Back $500k To The Giants After Noticing Contract Error
Jeremy Affeldt did a really noble thing back in 2010 when faced with a typographical error on a contract he signed with the San Francisco Giants.
In his book ‘To Stir a Moment’ Affeldt revealed how he and the Giants agreed on a $4 million contract, but once written up the amount on the contract was $4.5 million. Both sides agreed to the terms without noticing the error, after...
Jeremy Affeldt Shows Admirable Honesty, Turns Down $500,000 He Was Mistakenly Paid
Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt is an all-around good guy — or dumb, depending on who you ask.
Affeldt was set to earn $4 million in 2010 as part of a two-year, $10 million contract, but someone made a $500,000 mistake. When Affeldt’s 2010 salary was rewritten into his new contract with the Giants, someone put $4.5 million instead of the $4 million he was supposed to be paid....
HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY
Affeldt gave back $500K to Giants

Giants place Jeremy Affeldt on DL with oblique strain
Jeremy Affeldt has proven himself as one of the more valuable relievers in the game. At least for the San Francisco Giants.

According to Andrew Baggarly of CSN Bay Area, Affeldt was...
San Francisco Giants Place Jeremy Affeldt On 15-Day Disabled List
MLB News: The San Francisco Giants placed pitcher Jeremy Affeldt on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 15. He will miss a minimum of two weeks. Jean Machi takes his place.
Fantasy Ramifications: Being that Affeldt is a middle reliever, as solid as he may be, the fantasy value just isn’t there. He should not be owned in any fantasy format.

Affeldt placed on 15-day DL, Giants call-up Machi
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
The Giants’ LHP Jeremy Affeldt has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right oblique.
I’m assuming he suffered the injury during the game on Sunday in Chicago where he recorded only one out while giving up one hit, three walks (including one intentional) and two runs. The poor outing from Affeldt raised his season ERA to 5.79...
Jeremy Affeldt sent to DL with oblique strain
Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt is reportedly heading to the disabled list after suffering a right oblique strain.
An MRI confirmed the injury after Affeldt told the team on Monday he was experiencing pain on his right side. It’s still unclear how the left-hander suffered the injury. We think it’s safe to say frozen hamburger patties weren’t involved.
