Contrary to reports that they would give Dan Ortmeier and Travis Ishikawa a shot at first base, the Giants are in talks with first baseman Tony Clark. Clark, who had a two year offer pulled off the table from the Diamondbacks, is in talks with the Giants about a one year deal, with a mutual option for a second, according to sources. I think Clark would be a solid pick up for the Giants. He still has pretty good power, and a switch to a team in the division should make the transition easier. He did bat .249, but had 17 HR and 51 RBI. However, in 19 games at AT&T Park, he has hit .119 AVG with 0 HR and 4 RBI. Nonetheless, a team that is rebuilding like the Giants could use his bat and his veteran presence in the clubhouse.

haha...I think the gigantes are destined for another year in last place! Glad I'm not a Giants fan...go Dodgers!!
well one good thing that can come out of another 2008 losing season is another high top 5 draft pick. go Giants! =]
duck the fodgers!
lowest class fans in the league.
obcessive, you fail to recognize the even dumber Giants signings. Zito for the overpriced 18 mill/year, and now rowand for the same for 5 years. his hitting numbers are overratted b/c he was in a hitter friendly Phillies park. let's see how well he does in pitcher friendly at&t.
The dodgers have nomar, kent, and pierre for reasonable amounts, and andrew jones may be overpriced, but it's just for 2 years.
i am a giants fan, and all i want for the holidays is a new GM.
