Jordan Zimmermann signs with not-Giants

Don't panic. There's no need to ... listen, put that down. Stop screaming. Let go of the cat. There's no reason to panic that the Giants aren't going to have a starting pitcher when the music stops. They know what they're doing. Probably.

But one of the best fits for the Giants is off the market. Jordan Zimmermann signed with the Tigers for five years and $110 million. Considering that people were talking about $75 to $90 million for Mike Leake before the offseason began, that seems like a relative bargain. When Dave Cameron predicted where all of the free agents were going, he had Zimmermann to the Giants at seven years, $140 million.
