December 22, 200421 yr Because Wayne Franklin is BACK. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=240824128 SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants have re-signed left-handed pitcher Wayne Franklin to a one-year contract for the 2005 season, club Senior Vice President and General Manager Brian Sabean announced today. The 31-year-old southpaw posted a 2-1 mark with a 6.39 ERA in 43 games (two starts) with the Giants this past season, having originally been acquired by the team March 30 in a trade with Milwaukee. As a reliever on the season, he ranked fifth in the National League by stranding 79.1% of his inherited runners (34-for-43). As a starter, he split a pair of decisions.
December 22, 200421 yr His one loss was the infamous "Bush League" game, where he gave up 7 runs in the first inning. Hopefully SF finds a spot for him in the rotation.

With Foppert as a spot starter.. I know the Marlins would love to see Franklin back on the mound, but if they do it'll either already be a blowout or late in the game.
December 22, 200421 yr I'm aware of who the Giants 5 starters are, I'm banking on Kirk Reuter retiring during the season to pursue his modeling career.

December 22, 200421 yr I was watching a movie the other day and it was back from the 70's I think, had Clint Eastwood as a policeman, and took place in the China Basin of San Fran...had some clips of Candlestick too. Anyways, Franklin is supposed to scare us? We only play the Giants at most 7 times a year. *yawn
December 22, 200421 yr Wayne Franklin is garbage and a worthless piece of s***. I was hoping he would never wear a giants uniform again. Ever.
December 22, 200421 yr I'd put Woody in the pen and Foppert in the rotation 640393[/snapback] If Woody struggles early in the season, I'm sure this will happen. But I have no problem with having him start the season in the rotation. I'd love to see him have a good year.
