The Giants are looking into pursuing one of the big three -- CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira or Manny Ramirez -- but it is believed they haven't decided which one to target yet.
CC Sabathia: 28 yr old Cy Young award winning workhorse in his prime who is good enough to make Tim Lincecum the #2 starter on the staff. Sabathia wants to pitch on the west coast and prefers a NL team so he can bat. How about 6yrs/$125M?
Mark Teixeira : Soon to be 29 yr old switch-hitting, Gold Glove winning all around player with power to place into the middle of the line-up for seasons to come. Have read Tex prefers to play on the east coast. Maybe offer 8yrs/$153M?
Manny Ramirez: Or one of the best RHH in the game who could change the line-up similar to how Barry Bonds changed the Giants line-up. Ramirez will take the highest offer. Offer 3yrs/$57M?
Pitching Sabathia, Lincecum and Cain with Wilson to close could sweep many series. Tex in the middle of the line-up and with GG defense immediately improves the Giants. Manny is Manny.
Which player should the Giants target? What contract years/monies should they offer?
