The Giants couldn’t afford him – why, CC is making Barry Zito-type money!

His hometown is northeast of SF, not northwest.

Its my dream to have Felix Hernandez in pinstripes. I would say that the odds of a homegrown rotation are significantly less than 1%.

I’m not sure if there will be much financial incentive for CC to opt out.

Its basically an option for 4/100M. Pretty sweet deal.

What are the odds of a homegrown rotation happening in New York? Less than 1%?

Lets say CC opts out, AJ’s contract expires, and now we’re 4 years down the road- Hughes and Joba are a formidable 1-2 with Nova, Z-Mack, IPK, Man-Ban, etc filling out the rest. Who wouldn’t love that?

I would certainly be fine with keeping CC, and having 4 homegrown’s as well. But that again, who wouldn’t?

I think everyone’s dream is a rotation filled with our own guys. At least mine is. I wouldn’t bet on it ever happening, but it would sure be nice.
