Toronto is offering way too much for Giles. He only hit 15 homers lat year and 83 RBIs - decent but not great stats for a power bat.
If Giles accepts, which seems probable, think of how much Damon and Konerko are going to demand as they are better players than Giles.
It could be an expensive offseason for teams this year.

I think they are giving too much for him and too many years. he is a great hitter, his stats don't show that way because he played in Pecto Park which is very hitter friendly. He is 34 though and 5 yaers means he'll be with them until he is 39.

[smallguy]

Well now it looks as if we will probably make a trade for Pierre, or sign Damon. Those are probably the best 2 choices.

I don't want ethier of them. I want Brad Wilkilson.

[smallguy]

Hell no on that, I do not want Wilkerson, for one reason, and one reason only. He doesn not have the capability of being a lead-off hitter like Pierre, and Damon has. Do we really want to have another where Jeter is the lead-off hitter? I perfer seeing Jeter bat #2 in the lineup.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Jeter is a good lead of man. Pierre is overrated and I hate damon and both there Defenses are poor too below averge. We need defense more that Offense.

I read Giles has tentatively agreed to a 3 yr deal with the Padres. Anyone know the money involved in that deal?

Deal is finalized re-signed with Padres for $30 million over 3 years...turned down Yankees offer for 10 million a year

Padres sign Giles to three-year deal

Do you not know that 30 mil for 3 years is the same thing as 10 million a year that the Yanks were offering him?

Wait, maybe I'm reading this wrong, what did the Yankees offer him?

10 mil a year

So they were both offering him 10 mil a year. He either likes the location or he likes the terms of agreement in the contract.

I think it was the Location, I heared that Giles is a West coast guy.
