Jose, Cruz, JR signed with the San Francisco Giants for $2.8 million with a mutual club option for $4 million in 2004. The Giants now have too may players to deal with with price tags that seem a little hefty. With the infield jumble and the centerfield question the Giants need to start thinking about addition by contraction.


Neifi Perez was a ridiculous move by the Giants as was thinking Ray Durham could be their centerfielder. The Giants have signed two possible centerfielders and three possible second baseman unless Edgardo Elfonzo moves to third (which he probably will). Still that's Durham and Perez at about $10 million. Meanwhile Rich Aurilia just stands there and waits for the dust to clear.
