San Francisco Giants - Signed SS Edgar Renteria to a 2-year, $18 million
contract.
Renteria's been all over the place offensively in recent years since his
breakthrough 2002 season, with 3 seasons below a 90 OPS+ and 3 above 110.
Last year was one of those down seasons and his defense has slipped to the
point where he's below-average at short.
All that being said, I don't hove a problem at all with this signing for a few
reasons.
- It doesn't hurt the rebuilding process in any way. The Giants waited to
seal the deal, unlike the notorious Michael Tucker signing, until the Tigers
declined to offer arbitration to Renteria. The team's infield options,
especially at those positions that can't possibly be played by Pablo Sandoval
regularly, are nonexistent. Emmanuel Burriss has no business as a starting
shortstop at this point, and very likely never will be a good starting
option. That Burriss wasn't anywhere near the worst SS the Giants had this
year says a lot about the team's depth at the position.
- It's a good time to compete in the NL West. The Giants aren't a good team
in the AL East sense, but there are good reasons for the Giants to want to
seize the opportunity to compete for the division with the situation as it
is. 3 of the other teams in the league are unable to seriously invest in
their teams, with McCourt woefully undercapitalized thanks to his
smoke-and-mirrors financial portfolio, the Diamondbacks stretched, and the
Padres unable to spend even if they wanted to thanks to the John Moores
divorce drama. That just leaves the Rockies, an organization that never
really displays any coherent strategy and just kind of exists, like the Beat
Again era Orioles. The Giants are walking on a very slow treadmill and
incremental improvement is likely more profitable in their division than any
other. If the Giants can manage to squeeze out a divisional title, the
Lincecum/Cain combo becomes more valuable and the team could do some
surprising damage in a league in which there are no real dominant teams.
- The deal is only for 2 years, which limits the downside of signing Renteria
considerably. He's not old (just turned 33 officially and he's likely to
actually be 32) and while his defense his dropped off, he's not in Marlins
Infielder Territory and should be able to do a tolerable job as long as he
doesn't start hitting like the players the Giants trotted out there in 2008.
Renteria represents a tremendous improvement even in the likely worst-case
scenario and the quickest way to add a lot of extra wins is to deal with the
worst problem.
And yes, the Vazquez
