Some rumors are head-scratchers, other rumors sound right because they were pre-ordained by the whichever mystical forces you believe in. This one is the latter. ESPN Deportes is reporting that the Giants are in talks with free-agent shortstop Alex Gonzalez.:
Alex González me dijo que no jugara con El Caracas.
Sorry, that says he won't play for the Caracas. Here's the real tweet:
- San Fran in Talks with Alex Gonzalez - @Ken_Rosenthal
"Source: Free-agent SS Alex Gonzalez talking to #SFGiants. First reported by ESPN Deportes. #MLB" -
Gonzalez also talking to Cards, Brewers - @SI_JonHeyman: as espn deportes reported, ...
"as espn deportes reported, #SFGiants in on alex gonzalez. so are #STLcards and the brew #crew. grt defender w/ some pop."
Rather than spend the next 70-80 words telling you what you hopefully already know about Alex Gonzalez (he's everything you'd expect in a Brian Sabean shortstop acquisition), why don't we go Oprah on eachother and tell us how this news/rumor makes us feel? My first feeling: JOY -- Reyes and/or Rollins are probably out of the question for the Giants now, and it would be weird if either landed there, wouldn't it?

Just like you did not feel joy when a 34-year old shortstop by the name of Edgar Renteria smashed a 3-run HR off Cliff Lee with 2 outs in the 7th inning of a scoreless Game 5 of the 2010 World Series, right?

You’re adorable.

Who else?
I mean, theres been so much speculation/non speculation about the Giants trading away their entire pitching staff…what better way to sure that up than by signing Alex Gonzalez. Pretty sure it was a week or two ago the Braves asked for Eduardo ’ Sure Hands’ Nunez from the Yankees for this reason.
Gonzalez
as a Red Sox fan who saw him here for two stints, he is a solid shortstop. He had no discipline which gets annoying, but he has some clutch in him and is GREAT defensively.
