In the Sabean/Bochy press conference this morning to welcome back Juan Uribe (1 year, $3.25 M -- more on this later), we learned that the Giants' new top priority is a left-handed hitting free agent. The Velez/Torres leadoff platoon is no longer a good idea, Aaron Rowand (lifetime OBP of .339) leading off might be a good idea, and the team has had talks with Scott Podsednik's agent.
The preceding points most resemble:
a) A coherent, well-constructed plan to turn the Giants into the juggernaut of the decade.
b) A brilliant smokescreen to keep agents and rival teams off-balance.
c) Verbal spaghetti. Mmm, spaghetti.
d) A series of randomly-generated baseball-related words from Bochy and Sabean's winter-long post-structuralist neo-dada linguistic experiment. War is peace. Truth is falsehood. Buster Posey is so inexperienced that he cannot start in the big leagues next year unless he can and then he can't but then he mambo dogface to the banana patch.
e) Surprise! Jermaine Dye!
