The latest from Baggarly is that the Giants don't think they'll sign Crede - and that he'll likely end up in Minnesota instead. From a MLB Trade Rumors link, he's still demanding $7 million, plus almost $4 million in incentives:

I don't think I've made my position on Crede clear at all, but I wouldn't shed any tears.
