Josh Phelps in the Orange and Black
The Giants have signed 30-year-old minor leaguer Josh Phelps to a deal just in case they can't get Mark Teixeira to sign a contract for less than they paid Barry Zito. I'm being sarcastic now. This guy has played for five teams -- the Indians, Rays, Pirates, Yanks and Cards -- since the Jays traded him in 2004.
Grant over at McCovey Chronicles points out astutely that signing Teixeira doesn't make much sense since the Giants are not a hitter away from contending. He contends that the team would need to also sign an established second baseman like Orlando Hudson if it plans to contend in 2009.
I think the chances of the Giants signing Teixeira and Hudson are about as good as Sarah Palin becoming vice president. Which leads me to say this -- VOTE TODAY, DAMMIT
