The Giants are getting desperate for two gaping holes in their infield.  First, who's on first? I say if Rich Arulia can stay healthy, let him play there while Dan Ortmeier is groomed to be the every day 1B. I am confident that ORT will find his way into filling that spot nicely. He's got a good baseball head on his shoulders, and has the right help (J.T. Snow) to help him.

Third Base is where I'm scared. I see what we've been subjected to with Pedro Feliz, and as much as I appreciate a guy giving us a little pop in the 7 spot, and a cannon for an arm, I hate the fact that he still hits .250-ish in his best years. Heck, he's been one of the best players on the team for a couple years, but it's time to move forward, and he wants a 3 year contract... I don't think so. I got all hyped up on Miguel Cabrera and then realized that Tampa Bay would be looking for one of either Cain or Lincecum as bait and I quickly let that bandwagon pass right on by. I flirted around with the Mike Lowell thought but that wouldn't happen because Boston wouldn't let him go. The Yankees re-signed A-Rod after some harsh words between the two, because, hey, they're the only ones who could afford a $275,000,000 (275 Million) - 10 Year contract for the slugger.

We still need a 3rd Baseman...

I heard rumorings of Joe Crede being expendable from the Chicago White Sox...
and how Ron Schueler was the Sox's GM during Crede's first few minor league seasons...
and how Arron Rowand played with Crede on the Sox's World Series team...
and how they are rumored to be best of friends...

ChiSox have Josh Fields, their new shiny playtoy-third baseman and now Crede is a 3rd guest at a dinner for 2.

Anyone else thinking this???
