Larry Baer on MLB Network

He was interviewed by Reynolds and Vasgergian. I will try to take down as much as I can catch...

In general:

"We want to get back to the run we had starting in 97. We want to accomplish that without giving up our young promising players."

Regarding Manny:

"We are interested in Manny. It would need to be a perfect fit. We can't sign a player to a contract that would prevent us from doing something 2 or 3 years down the line. We are talking to Scott Boras. Nothing is close but we definitely have interest."

Regarding Randy Johnson:

"RJ is a great bridge to the young pitchers we have coming. He is in good shape. He is from the bay area. We hope he can stay healthy and pitch for more than 1 year."

Upcoming '09 celebrations at the park:

"in '09 the Giants are going to celebrate the '89 world series team. Players from the Giants and A's will be honored."

Regarding Jeff Kent:

"Jeff Kent will be honored at the park. We will definitely campaign to get Jeff in the HoF. Hopefully as a Giant."

Random silliness:

Vasgergian asked Baer to bring back Crazy Crab. (another reason to hate Matt)

MLB Channel Comcast 412

I know this channel doesn't "officially" go live until Jan 1, but it is already on my cable menu. I have Comcast and I am located in the east bay, so you cable-having folks form around these parts might want to check it out.

Right now, they are showing highlights from the '05 World Series. I have no idea if this is temporary/introductory type of thing or if they are going to be showing highlights until the official launch.

Satisfy your baseball watching jones immediately...and by all means, have some pie while doing so.
