To add Aubrey Huff, the Giants have designated for assigment Merkin Valdez. Someone will certainly give him a look. I always thought he could be the next closer if Brian Wilson ever got injured or too expensive, but the Giants didn't have the patience or the roster flexibility, apparently, to wait for him to improve. Interesting that they released Valdez and kept Kevin Frandsen, who has been banished to the back of the doghouse.
And lookee here: as soon as Huff signed, Adam LaRoche agrees to a deal with Arizona for a sliver of what the Giants offered.
