Now it is one thing to spend 300 million plus on a need but quite another to spend 300 million plus without a clear idea said need will be met. And clearly the need of the San Francisco Giants is for someone who can play good defense in the very difficult to play Oracle Park right field and also thrive there as a hitter.
The San Francisco Giants have a bunch of guys they can run out into left field because left field in general does not require a great arm and left field in Oracle Park is clearly the easiest of all of the outfield positions to play.
