Good move by the Melk Man. it probably won't bring him back into the team's good graces this season -- but there's always next year. And this is a positive step in the right direction...

oh snap
Charlie Miller @AthlonCharlie #MLB is patting itself on the back for keeping the batting title from Melky. But Giants are still in 1st place. They didn't forfeit any wins

THIS. Its all a PR thing anyway. He wants to salvage anything he can to get some contract next year.

He won't be dead to you once the Giants bring him back for the playoffs and he wins the WS MVP

Good. He doesn't deserve it. AS MVP needs to be given back too.

I think Melky knows his toast is cracked for this season. I think he's aiming high at next year. Unless the A's want to trade Cespedes to us for a slightly used Barry Zito...
