I am not sure his 29 and 82 is much better.

as a Giants fan - they really are screwed on this one - I am already so tired of the constant excuse wagon and absurd thought that if he just improves his approach he will become the ace pitcher they are paying him to be. no chance.

he was overrated before

he is terrible now

and is easily the worst FA signing in history. at least Hampton could blame injuries and coors field.
