Giants Sign Relief Pitcher Bob Howry

The Giants, who we just know will pull through next season, picked up 35-year-old Bob Howry (6' 5", 220 pounds) as their newest relief pitcher. According to the more sporty Henry Schulman, Howry's last season with the Cubs was dismal, with his "ERA was 5.35 and opponents hit .309 against him with a .543 slugging percentage and .881 OPS." The deal will land Howry a cool $2.75 million, one-year contract. Welcome aboard, Bob.

How about a contract extension for Barry Zito?
