Richie Official

Rotoworld: Giants signed infielder Rich Aurilia, who had been with the Reds, to a two-year contract.

It's worth $7 million-$8 million. The Reds are set to get a supplemental first-round pick and the Giants' third rounder for losing Aurilia, a Type A free agent. The 35-year-old Aurilia would have been a decent signing as a third baseman, but the Giants are expected to play him at first, where he probably won't be much of an asset. Aurilia hit .300/.349/.518 last season, but that was just the second year of his career with an OPS over 800 and he was only at .276/.318/.437 against right-handers.

My Aurilia bobblehead is shining just a little bit brighter this afternoon.

Re: Richie Official
Are you sure that's not the Robb Nen bobblehead? I always got those two bobbleheads confused.

Re: Richie Official
I think Nen's facial hair is a bit darker and he looks just a tad meaner. I have the Carl's Jr. bobblehead set from 2002 with Nen, Aurilia, Shinjo and Bonds somewhere in my house. I should look at them again to see if I'm right.

Feliz is official - according to MLB Radio,
1 year contract no details given.

Radio?
What, are we in 1940's London all of the sudden? We don't get news from the radio, and Pedro Feliz is not a Giant. LALALALALALALALA!

Except Gwen Knapp, who will not endorse the signing until Richie talks openly about his past.

Well, he does have the kind of courtroom experience that Knapp prefers in a player...

Aurila appears in this photo to be getting the cross-examination from that baseball magistrate, Gwen "Himmler" Knapp.

(Luckily, our Richie has trusty but airheaded Marcia Clark at his side.)
