Feliz signed for 3 yrs 18 mil.  If Brian Sabean were to do this, I'd contribute towards putting a contract out on his life.  

Suppan for 4years, 36 mil.  At least Matt Morris was once a top notch pitcher.  This for freaking Suppan.  I'd rather watch Misch lose games at least with a rookie you figure the team can put the money towards a new player.  This is just bad.  

Ronnie Belliard 2 yrs, 8.5 mil.  Either we resign Ray, grab Richie for a year, or put the Kid in at 2nd.  This is like trying to decide between the hot chick who is kind of a bitch, and the really cool chick who is kind of ugly and opting for a third chick who is kind of ugly and kind of a bitch.  

Bengie Molina.  I guess I don't understand why his name keeps coming up.  He is a hacker with pop that he put up in Toronto and he doesn't have much for an arm.  We already have a hacker with pop and not much arm working for 330k per year.  Plus ours has a set of teeth that look like that dude Jaws from the 70's James Bond movies.  And he used to be a boxer so he's a good guy to have around in a brawl.

The other signings are not too bad.  The Casey sign is risky, but there's just a chance that Casey was put on Earth to hit at AT&T park (he's put up huge numbers in a decent sample size so far) and besides, what other 1B options are there.  Guillen for a 1 year show me what you can do contract is decent.  Baez isn't that appealing but we have no one to even think about closing games and the options are slim.  

However, I'd be very happy to see B-Squared back in the city by the bay for one last hurrah at the reasonable price of 10 per year.    

The only deal I really wouldn't like would be Suppan, but it wouldn't be the end of the world.

That Molina contract would be fine, but I bet he holds out for more years.
I'd rather see Linden or Lewis than Guillen, whose attitude I wouldn't want on a young team.

It sure wouldn't leave much money to play with in 07.

I don't think Soriano or Lee will be a good investment, but would you rather pay one of them $19M a year or pay Feliz, Suppan and Baez $19M a year? Or light yourself on fire?

Akinori Iwamura anyone?  if not, (and probably not) Aurilia or Helms would do just fine.

The good thing about this is that none of these signings really fit in the "new direction" plan (whatever that means), as it seems like most of these guys would just be stop-gaps so that we can field a team next year. That lineup and team would be lucky to win 70 games next year, so if thats what it comes down to, Sabes should be fired.

Sounds about right.

Well no, I'm not. But damnit!

Assuming we don't re-sign Ray-Ray, Belliard is an OK substitute for the right money. He's got a bit of pop but limited range at 2B. Not much of an OBP either.

My main concern is that Belliard is listed at 5'8", 180, but i'd put him more like 5'7", 230. The guy is  rotund. Looks akin to a manatee on the bases. Not too good for a 32-year-old 2B sparkplug...more like a fireplug. That's also why he hits into a ton of GIDPs.

I can already hear his hammies snapping in the cold April evening air.

Of course, he's got the all-important, savvy WS experience. Even if he went 0-12.

All hope of winning the division was CRUSHED by Aug. 10, but by then it was too late to do the deals.

I was for trading Durham and Schmidt at the deadline, this year and LAST.
