1) about the Giants...yes.
you know more than Peter Gammons???LOL gimme a break, bud!!!!!!!!
2)We signed Nenn to an extended contract, we kept him on this year out of good will for the years he gave us, we are not picking up the rest of his contract
thats fine but to go out and get another good closer you going to have to pay him basically the same as Nen
3)A .300 batting catcher? He wasn't cheap.

SBC Park cost $315 million. After selling the naming rights for $50 million and raising about $90 million through personal seat licenses and corporate sponsorships, the Giants borrowed $175 million for construction.
The team pays about $17 million annually to service that debt, and will for another 15 years.
