Report: C.C. Sabathia mulling a hometown discount to come to the Giants
"Sources say the Giants are considering a play for Sabathia, although their only hope of landing the big lefthander would be for him to take an extreme hometown discount."

Do HTD really exist? I always grit my teeth when people start talking about them.
I WILL TAKE LESS MONEY BECAUSE OF MY BAY AREA TIES!
I think Adrian Gonzalez took a HTD to stay in San Diego. A lot of good that did him as they take advantage of his cheap contract and trade him for prospects.
I think Arroyo took a discount (not of the home town variety) to stay in Boston. They ended up shipping him to the Reds (LOL PENA!)

In other words
It has happened and it doesn’t seem to work in the player’s favor. I doubt they happen all that much.

Yeah, I forgot about Arroyo’s deal. It just seems counterintuitive to the way baseball is currently structured financially. I think it’s pretty rare in general and writers like to pretend that it happens more than it does.
It’s more like a hope that this one guy will love our city and the team so much, he won’t take all the money he can get. Those are few and far between.

The only time I’m aware of players taking a “hometown discount” typically is when a player wants to stay where he’s currently playing. Like Rueter and Nen did back in the day. I don’t think it typically happens for players wanting to go back home.
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.
It’s not the same without the music. :(

I think Bonds took a hometown discount when he re-signed.
Because no one else wanted him.
The Yankees wanted him after his first Giants contract expired.

by Lars The Wanderer on Dec 29, 2009 8:54 AM PST up reply actions
Being the second to third highest paid player in the league in your late 30’s isn’t a hometown discount.
Also he made ~190 million in his career. Almost all of that is from the Giants. Only ARod has made more in a career and the only other person who might pass him is Manny. I don’t think that is a hometown discount.

Rob Neyer on the Derosa deal.
I was prepared to disparage this deal, but after looking at the numbers I’m not sure that I can. DeRosa was terrible after joining the Cardinals last summer, but even with the injury he was still worth more than $6 million over the whole season. Throw in his versatility, and it’s hard to see a two-year, $12 million contract as any sort of blunder.
The arrival of DeRosa — assuming he plays third base — will necessarily push Pablo Sandoval to first base, and Travis Ishikawa to the bench or another team. I was hoping Ishikawa would get one more chance with the Giants, but considering his struggles with the bat and Panda’s struggles with the glove, it’s hard to fault the Giants for making the switch.
Now, about that outfield …

The underrated aspect of this movie is its sense of place in the real world. Just watching it gives a pretty good impression of what it’s like to be in California wine country, with names, places, people and a sense of history. It’s not like so many movies set in generic countryside or City X, a place that could be New York, Chicago, Sydney, London, or anywhere, really (films often make a big deal about being in a given location, yet are quite clearly filmed in the LA area. That always irritates me).
People will be able to watch that film ten years later and still get an idea of what Napa and Sonoma and the rest of those places are all about… If they can get past the icky characters, of course. Personally, I don’t think you need to have a purely likable protagonist in order for a movie to be successful. And who knows the story behind Giamatti taking the money? It’s quite clear that his mother is a disaster, and he may be ‘owed’ it, justifying himself with some twisted logic. Anyway, I liked it, and it moved a friend of mine to tears; in his case, Miles hit a little too close to home.
Not great, but a good deal of rewatchability. Most movies fail to maintain a quality production from first to last frame; there are minutes that drag or minutes where the story becomes insufferable, and so on. Basically every minute in Sideways is worthwhile, and I admire that in a film. Not easy to do.

Alex_Lewis:
The underrated aspect of this movie is its sense of place in the real world
And to take it even farther, you wine-geeks know of the concept of terroir (think territory). It’s a French term applied to wines that really speak of the place where they are grown.
And in France, it’s even more insane than saying Napa, or CA Central Coast. In Burgundy, for example, a wine carries the name of the vineyard and village where the grapes are grown, and multiple growers/vintners may have vines in the same vineyard. The wines are expected to express the sense of place (terroir) even though differnt wineries are producing them.
I thought this sense of place was shrewdly woven into the fabric of the film and commented on by a Giants fan on a Giants blog of all places—good post Alex.

Defense… i understand you get his bat, but TI is such a better 1st baseman, and i just think they’re giving up on him…
Ishikawa is a better defender, but Pablo isn’t so terrible that it’d be that big of a deal. Plus it’s first base. I would rather keep Pablo at 3rd though.

Plus , frankly there is not much out there for 3rd base once past the elite 3-5 guys it is straight to drudge and dreck ( Inge or E5 anyone?). There are actually mid grade 1st baseman to be gotten most years.
The more I think about DeRosa the less I like it. I hate him playing 3rd and bouncing a very good young player off 3rd. I hate him playing OF shredding play time for Bowker, Lewis Nate and any in the upper minors that makes a case for themselves in the next 18 months.
/ Chants, " Olivio, Jacobs, Podsednik" Then smacks head with a 1 X 6. This will continue tell the pain decreases and moral improves.
Plus, he would be there for a year, then what happens when we go after the much better 1B free agents next offseason? He gets shifted back to 3rd. The back and forth cannot be good for his development.

Good move, Sandoval can now be moved back to first base where he belongs. Now they have to sign a catcher to help mentor Posey. I don’t think Buster is ready for the day to day job quite yet.

I love how they all talk about making up for Bengie’s departure. Like the biggest offensive problem this team has is that Bengie isn’t here anymore.

I swear I'm done posting these, but I had to post this one:
I personally don’t define a big bat as a hitter whose batting average has declined steadily from 2006, with a career BA in the .270 range and who usually hits 8 to 13 HRs a season (hit +20 twice in his career), but has under 100 HRs in his career, half of which are solo shots despite hitting in the 5 to 8 spot most of his career.
Apparently DeRosa had runners on base, but decided to hit a solo HR just because he’s not that good of a player.

Baseball?
The ESPN article about signing Mark DeRosa opens with the following few sentences:
For several years, Mark DeRosa daydreamed of eventually playing in San Francisco. He enjoys the city’s vibe and atmosphere, from walking to the ballpark to trying out top restaurants.
“I felt like it would be a cool place to play and an interesting place to bring my family,” he said.
I’m not unhappy that he’s here. We’ll see how I feel during the September of 2010.
