They were both wonderful when it mattered. I guess Freddy Sanchez is no longer relevant.

Maybe by 2015 Joe Panik (who just turned 22 in A+ ball) is the #1 guy and Scoot is a highly-paid utility man/backup. I don't think he has any magic youth-juice, and not many middle infielders are good past age 37 (his current age), but it's not a bad deal given the market and the team's needs. The Giants don't have a 2B ready in the minors and they need a real-live starter. There were no other FA options. His contact skills fit the park and his no. 2 role well. Defense--range--worries me a bit, but with BCraw at SS they'll be OK. Plus, he was amazing last season and there's nothing wrong with a little love from the organization.<br /><br />Repeat after me: REEEEE-PEAT!!<br /><br />M.C.

Plus he's a hit with the fans and the media. Leadoff hitters are like lead vocalists in a rock band--gotta have a little flash and style to go with the substance.<br /><br />M.C.
