SF Giants Off Season Thread

You have nothing to lose handing out a few minor league deals with a invite to ST. In fact we found a great bargain last year on a minor league deal with Uribe.

Giants Sign Guillermo Mota
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [February 2, 2010 at 5:39pm CST]

The Giants signed Guillermo Mota to a minor league deal, according to Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News. Unlike Horacio Ramirez and Byung-Hyun Kim, who also agreed to deals with the Giants today, Mota receives an invitation to Spring Training.

The Dodgers didn't offer Mota arbitration after the righty posted a 3.44 ERA for them last year in 65.1 innings of relief. The 36-year-old's rate stats - 5.4 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9 - are nothing special, but his average fastball is about 94 mph.

keep stock piling these relievers and hopefully 1 turns out decent

Mota is a wild man. Hope he gets it together.

Mike Piazza wanted to give him a choke slam several years ago after Mike took umbrage at being hit with a pitch by Mota.

I hate that b*****d. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what Omar did to him to deserve getting thrown at.

One of them spoke bad about the other in a book from when they were teammates on the Cleveland Indians. I believe it was Omar's book that had the not so nice comments about Mesa.

They were teammates on Cleveland team that lose WS to Atlanta. Omar wrote a book in which he criticized Mesa and blamed him supposidly for blowing the series. I havent read the book but I know that was the issue anyway. Mesa was pissed and said he would throw at Omar everytime he faced him.

Wow I didn't know that. But I don't think it should be worth trying to injure someone with a fastball.
