Giants Sign Howry

The Giants continue bolstering the bullpen with today's singing of Bob Howry. The move had been rumored after the Cubs opted not to offer Howry arbitration. Howry will make $2.75 million. Howry's ERA in 2008 was an unimpressive 5.35, though lifetime its 3.68 in a career that began in 1998. The Giants also signed reliever Jeremy Affeldt on Nov. 17 - a move that has been widely praised.

It has been difficult to be a Giants fan these last several years - losing records, injuries, and bad contracts. We may be critical - but we stand by our team through good times and bad. The Giants remain one of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball and have a crop of new stars ready to add new pages to the Giants history books. Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson and Sandoval are giving us reasons to be excited. Times may not always be stellar, but the Giants always give us something to talk about.
