Should the Giants re-sign Brian Wilson?


Opening Day is creeping up on us! On April 1st the Giants will begin the 2013 season with a three game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

One thing that hasn't yet been settled though is: Brian Wilson.
For now the Giants seem to be a bit wary of re-signing him, only because he has had the Tommy John surgery twice already, and they are unsure whether or not it will have benefited him at all...
For now they have kept in contact with him, but the chances of him being re-signed seem a bit slim.

Keeping that in mind, do the Giants really even need Wilson?
They seem to have been alright without him last year..... Romo, Casilla, Affeldt, Lopez and so many others seem to have done exceptional without Wilson on the mound.
But, mentally they will always be relievers. That doesn't mean they can't close though.
Romo did amazing as a closer during the Post-Season. But he didn't step into that role until the Post- Season, and he didn't stay a closer for very long. He will still always be a reliever.

I like Wilson as a player. His cheerfulness and his sense of humor are something that every clubhouse should have. It helps to keep the players loose and pumped up.
I would honestly hate to see him go to another team, and excel somewhere else. I do think that he still has enough life left in his arm.

Hopefully the Giants will see the effect that he has on the team (on and off the mound), and maybe ask him to come back and give him one more chance!! Who knows what could happen!
