October 27, 200718 yr the padres cut marcus giles today after a very mediocre year...looks like giles reunion only lasted marcus one year. i think his career is over, and i suspect that he was a roider before the drug tests came in. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-p...p&type=lgns
October 27, 200718 yr I doubt his career is over. Sure he hit .230 but he doesn't turn 30 until next season and he had one lousy season. There are a bunch of teams who would take a flier on him next season and for years after that, even if he continued to put up seasons like his last.

There are a bunch of teams who would take a flier on him next season and for years after that, even if he continued to put up seasons like his last. His batting average has gone down every year for the last 4. His second half in 2006 was also very mediocore. Someone will probably take a flier on him with a MLD deal. But he had better perform to win a job next spring. Period.
October 29, 200718 yr I will bet you $50 he gets a guaranteed major league contract next year somewhere and plays.
October 30, 200718 yr I will bet you $50 he gets a guaranteed major league contract next year somewhere and plays. is this plays all year or plays some in the first couple of months before being benched?
October 30, 200718 yr you guys must be kidding me (the ones who are saying hes a minor leaguer or his career is over) you dont think these teams will need a gap to fill next year and take a chance on him. mets- if castillo leaves, and valentin turns 58 minnesota- lost castillo last season pittsburgh- i think they have bautista/castillo but they have room atlanta- put k.j. in center, and bring back giles (fan favorite) los angeles- jeff kent turning 50 im sure theres more. i will go up and say i bet $100 that he makes a major league roster april 1, 2008

October 31, 200718 yr dont the dodgers also have tony abreu to play second who they are somewhat high on? it helps to actually know teams before throwing wild ideas out there, especially when we are in an era where teams are pushing younger players more than ever it seems.
