Giants agreed to terms w/Dominican 3B Duanel Jones. Number not completely confirmed but multiple sources have indicated its $1.3 million.
From Baseball Prospectus's Kiley McDaniel. Who is Duanel Jones? Seriously, you don't know? Wow. You've been living under a rock. Here's the Google search for Duanel Jones so you can catch up to the rest of us in the know.
Wait, all of the results link back to McDaniel's tweet. I'm not sure if I should be excited, but I'll assume that the $1.3M means it's like picking up a late first-round draft pick. Is it possible that the Giants decided not to offer Bengie Molina arbitration with one eye on trying to replace the phantom pick through international signing efforts?
Maybe, but that sort of pragmatism isn't something I'm used to, so I'll assume that Jones is 25 and he just swung at a slider in the dirt. That fits my preconceptions, and I didn't have enough coffee this morning to challenge any long-held beliefs

Who the heck is Duanel Jones?
Jones doesn’t sound Dominican to me. He’s a fake!

This is the Giants we’re talking about, so it’s actually more like non-tendered sex.

My friend played the cruelest Giants related joke on me.
He knew I was going to be on a plane today with my cell phone off. So he texted while I was in the air that the Giants signed RICHIE SEXSON. Got off the plane and scrambled to make sure this was in fact false. It’s sad that I even had to check

I know they’re thinking long term, but Halladay, Lee and Hamels would have been an amazing trio. Unless one or two of them get hurt the NL East would have been over.
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you

2:13pm: A source tells Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com that a deal sending Uggla to the Giants is “not going down.”
Crasnick writes that the first obstacle would be financial. The Giants will have to give Tim Lincecum a major raise in arbitration and are already hamstrung by the contracts of Barry Zito and Aaron Rowand. Uggla is expected to make more than $7MM in 2010.
Sabean & Co. are also hesitant to part with Jonathan Sanchez, as his departure would leave the club with only three proven starters.
some extremely bright poster made this a fanshot.

Sabean just can't stop signing hackers
Just signed someone named Eric Hacker to a minor league deal. He’s a pitcher though.

I put in a question to Ask BA and got a reply from Callis asking me for my hometown, so hopefully that’s a sign that my question on Duanel will be answered on Monday (or is it Tuesday?).
Hector Sanchez: Underrated. Fighting body bias since the 2009 off season. I still love you, son, even if you're fat.
This is amazing
58 comments and still nary a detail about this dude?

Has this been confirmed? Didn’t find anything at SFGiants.com, and the Examiner story cites this guy as the source. Did this actually happen?
Not sure what to do about my screen name at this point...
