GIANTS AGREE ON TWO-YEAR EXTENSIONS WITH SABEAN AND BOCHY WITH OPTIONS FOR 2012

The San Francisco Giants have signed Senior Vice President and General Manager Brian Sabean and Field Manager Bruce Bochy to two-year contracts with club options for the 2012 campaign. Terms of the agreements were not disclosed.

Sabean, 53, who has the 12th-highest winning percentage (.531, 1,115-983) among all general managers since 1950, is currently in his 13th year at the helm of the Giants, having guided the club to four post-season berths.

"These contract extensions reinforce our confidence in both Brian and Bruce's leadership in the near and longer term," said Managing General Partner and CEO William Neukom. "Brian has proven his capabilities as a talented and effective baseball executive and we are impressed by the job Bruce has done the last three years. We are confident in their abilities to lead our club going forward."

Serious Sadness.
Renewed Remorse
What I fail to understand is why reward Sabean for mediocrity. The guy has been the GM for 13 seasons now and how many titles does SF have? ZERO.

If he can't produce a championship team in 13 seasons of leadership, 2 more isn't going to a damn thing. Sabean's goal should be to win it all. SF isn't some dinky little market that should be satisfied with a team in 'contention for a playoff spot'.
Bring back bochy was a very sad day for me, knowing we could have done better, and this will hinder us improving.
