That .693 is pretty telling, also, because West Coast stadia are pitching-friendly, in general. If the Giants were to sign him, they’d get speed, but speed without OBP is worth very little.

Reality check: Coco has never played more than 150 games, and reached over 140 only twice, the last time in 2007. His career high in OPS is .810 in 2005.

It’s nice to have preferences. I’d prefer to be ultra rich and a boy-toy to Victoria’s Secret models. That’s not gonna happen (unfortunately). CoCo should probably prepare himself for disappointment.

A “team that is determined to compete” in 2012 didn’t have to make the playoffs in 2011.

Odd request, since no West Coast teams made the playoffs this past season (depending on how you feel about Phoenix being “West Coast”).

I guess he wants to play for the Angels or Giants, but his agent told this to the San Francisco Chronicle soo….
