Giants to pursue Jason Bay?
The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that the Giants plan to make a run at free agent outfielder Jason Bay. Bay, who has engaged in early talks with the Red Sox, is also expected to draw interest from the Mets, Yankees, among others.
Bay hit .267 with 36 home runs this season, but went just 1-for-8 in the postseason. Despite putting up career highs in home runs and RBIs, Bay hit 13 points below his career average and struck out a career high 162 times.
Still, Bay will be one of the most coveted free agents this offseason and could draw a deal worth 15-17 million dollars annually.

Oh boy
Figures the Giants would make a run at Bay instead of Holliday.

Well, it does figure
Because the Giants probably don’t have the money for Holliday, but they might have the money for Bay.
Why do San Francisco teams insist on having terrible offenses? Frank Gore and Pablo Sandoval can't do it all.

Still I think Sabean would overpay for Bay
If he overpays for anyone it should be the top FA, which is Holliday

JBay
total class act while he was in Pittsburgh. I’d like to have him back in black and gold, but our left field is too much room for him to cover and he doesn’t have the arm for right.

plus, I think we can probably rule out the Pirates paying for any top-flight free agents… you know, given their recent history and all.
