SF Giants Rumors – Why Did LaRoche Choose D-Backs?
Posted on January 18th, 2010 by admin in SF Giants Rumors
Jon Heyman of SI.com says Giants people are hurt that Adam LaRoche turned them down to take a lower offer from the Arizona Diamondbacks. It remains a mystery to them why LaRoche chose Arizona. The Giants wound up signing Aubrey Huff for $3 million instead but still wouldn’t appear to have enough offense to go with their deluxe pitching.
King of Cali thoughts: I’m glad LaRoche chose the D-Backs. Now it gives us someone to really boo hard when the D-backs come to town. I’m actually glad the Giants turned around and signed Huff. Huff has a lot of power and I’m sure he would love to prove himself by having a bounce back year. The Giants got him for a cheap deal, so this can turn out to be another steal deal for Sabean in two consecutive years. Juan Uribe was the steal deal of last year. He was signed for one year, $1 million. Why do you think LaRoche turned down a two-year $17 million contract and sign for less with the D-Backs?

I honestly wanted laroche to play for us since he’s been consistent…huff not so much. Let me put it this way…laroche pussed out knowing that as a lefty, he had to deal with our wall and splash hits. Huff, cheap prize and time to show what ur made of. I expect about 10 to 15 splash hrs this season coming up

Yes Giants fans. There are alot things getting me pumped for this 2010 season.First and foremost is I am getting behind all our acquistions Sabean got us. Even though I’d like to see an established, consistent bat in the every day line up, I still like the ones we have.Our starting rotation will be tops in the league and our bullpen will compete.Our closer,Brian Wilson…enough said…and I agree with King Of Cali, when Laroche enters OUR park..we will let him have it.CANT WAIT FOR FAN FEST>>>>
Can’t wait for the start of the season…See you all at fanfest. Come visit the CHW Booth and say Hi Timmo and Kristen Rice…
