Giants re-sign Scutaro!!
 
Merry Christmas!!
I apologize that I am little late in reporting the latest signings and re-signings. I was a little tied up with school. But now I'm off for a few weeks, so I have some time on my hands.

Within the last few weeks the Giants re-signed Marco Scutaro to a 3 year, $20 million deal.
Considering Scutaro's amazing year last year, I think that the re-signing is a great thing!!
The Giants needed a second baseman, and Scutaro is able to provide an impressive amount of defense, and he also adds a spark to the Giants lineup. Not to mention the fact that he is a long time Veteran, and he was on the team last year during the World Series. He also won MVP during the NLCS.

Scutaro, 37, will be with the Giants for the next three years. By the time his contract ends he will be 40 years old, but I don't think his age will hinder his ability to play. His ability to do what he did during the Post- Season last year proves that!

Scutaro was one of the most valuable trades that was made last summer. He was the only player who provided a dramatic effect on his new team. He helped to carry the Giants all the way to the World Series. Then he helped them win a World Series trophy.
 I am very excited to know that he will be coming back in 2013!!

Giants resign Pagan!

Well, its official. The Giants have resigned Angel Pagan to a four year, $40 million contract.

Pagan is probably not most well known for his bat, although he was always able to provide clutch at bats for the Giants, especially when he is their lead-off hitter.

I was mostly impressed with his defense though...

He is an incredible defensive player. He made some pretty amazing plays in center field last season, and he is a great weapon for the Giants to have!

I think that it was a wise decision to bring back Pagan, especially considering the impact he made for the Giants last season. He provides a certain depth to the outfield. Plus he is a great player to have in the clubhouse because he is always optimistic, and he believes in his team, and supports them to the end.

Pagan was one of the quiet weapons that the Giants had in the 2012 World Series. He wasn't one of the players that was able to come up with a hit at every at bat, but he was there doing what needed to be  done without a whole lot of fanfare.

I think the reason the Giants were able to win the World Series because they worked as a team. There isn't one player on the Giants who is their only big bat. There is a new player and a new story every single day. And Angel Pagan was definitely one of those players last season!
