Prolly not the best move for him but could be for us

He's an every day first baseman, and has only been a DH a handful of times. Would be be satisfied doing that? Is he the long term answer at first as insurance if they can't resign Pete? Interesting. And your Pfuck the Phillies factor is a pfun thought. Later

I think it's going to be mostly money that'll determine if he'll be satisfied in his contract. He's a northern California guy who grew up a Giants/J.T. Snow fan. The Giants have been coming up short in recent offseasons, and they may have better luck pursuing a guy who maybe wants to be there. They kind of mix and match with three players (Lamont Wade, J.D. Davis, and Wilmer Flores) at first and DH. He's a hard object lesson in that his case suggests that repairing a torn ACL takes a full season of recovery for a baseball-player.
