Really more of an ancillary motivation – didn’t mean to imply that the run support was the main motivator – I just think he has to have some frustration there…

sold out yard that you own,,,, sign him NOW and quit with the money pinching shit,, sign him NOW or sign off on some fans,,,,,, or win NOW,, that would help,,, absolutely no reason not to sign him now to 5 to 7 years,, do it you fools, most any other team in the league would, and you Giants are in a better spot than most to do so,, SIGN HIM NOW!! not a better pitcher ever to sign to the long 5-7 year deal at 20+,, just do it you greeeeeedy fools
if not, I hope they all walk out and stop helping you pay for that yard you and the fans built without tax dollars,,,,,,, just asldfj;adsgha;oiua4ew o;uasjf sign the Cain, ,,,, please

I don’t know how much I buy into the run support argument. I know its gotta be frustrating- but it seems silly to think that if your signing a 5-6 year deal that you aren’t aware the line-up is going to change. Besides- with Sandoval, Posey, Belt there is at least a reason to be optimistic that help is on the way. Bottom line is that Cain’s agent has established what his market value is- and the Giants need to pay it- because he only gets more expensive as a free agent. Cain has no reason to leave- ATT is a great park for a pitcher, he seems to love the city, the fan base is great- if he leaves its for one reason- the Giants are being CHEAP. Make no mistake either- if he doesn’t sign by opening day he leaves via free agency. Give him what he want now- because I know the Giants and their suddenly thrifty ownership won’t over-pay for the FA market come next winter.

Not sure we can keep for $100M, might require and extra $10 or so. If Cain had ever gotten any run support, he might be more willing to stay, but Los Gigantes might need to soothe some frustration with a $10M balm. And a LOT of assurances that they are trying to improve the offense, which will be all the harder when they send Belt to Fresno later this week, in favor of Huff.
Sabes better get on the stick on this one, or Cain will likely walk next year…
