Giants can't find anyone older, sign Winn to extension

[Jon]

AP[/url]"]SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Randy Winn and the San Francisco Giants agreed Tuesday on a $23.25 million, three-year contract extension through 2009.

.........

The switch-hitting Winn, slated to be the team's leadoff hitter and starting center fielder this season, will get a $3 million signing bonus and salaries of $4 million in 2007, $8 million in 2008 and $8.25 million in 2009, according to agent Craig Landis.

Where is Steve Finley playing?

Where is Steve Finley playing?

 

I would imagine he's the 4th outfielder/lefty bat off the bench, since the Giants feel they're set with Bonds in LF, Winn in CF, and Alou in RF. It's also possible that on days Bonds doesn't play, Winn will shift to LF and Finley will start in CF (or vice versa; Finley in LF and Winn in CF).

Agreed, one of the best I have seen in quite a while.

FJM has a great article at the top about Finley and how great he is in CF.

Or they could play all 4 of them at once. They might even be able to defend the whole outfield that way.

Wow, its only a matter of time before the Giants will have to build an on site nursing home adjacent to the field. They're trotting one 1/3 of the nations senior citizen population on the field every day.

How about Jimmy Wynn or Early Wynn?

Early died in 1999.

 

In other words, he can cover about as much ground as the others can. :lol:

Well, Early's grave may cover more ground than Bonds can.
