Giants Show Interest in Escuela

Having shored up an already solid rotation, Brian Sabean is moving to address a weak lineup, and has exchanged contract proposals with infielder Chico Escuela, OBnB has learned.

Citing a report in which one of Sabean's colleagues observed that the Giants are "one hitter from being a real good team," the Giants GM indicated he was monitoring the developing Escuela market.

Although his talent is undeniable, Escuela is equally known for his amazingly bizarre antics throughout his career, which has alienated teammates and fans alike. While his behavior has been justified by others as Escuela being naïve and idiosyncratic, he finds his list of suitors dwindling in no small part due to his reputation.

Escuela, however, has won in every stop of his career, and his disarming islander attitude can charm even the most skeptical of fans.

It remains to be seen if the Giants can work out a deal for what might be Escuela's last contract, but it's clear that an Esceula-led Giants squad would be berry, berry interesting to watch.
