GIANTS SIGN COLOMBIAN EDGAR RENTERIA!!!

I'm so stoked that the Giants have signed Colombiano Edgar Renteria to a two-year, $18.5 million contract!!! I was bummed that of all three South Americans on the team--Vizquel, Sandoval, and Ochoa (all from Venezuela)--none were from Colombia. Renteria is the first Colombian to play in the World Series, winning it for the Marlins in 1997!!! Now here's hoping that he has a great first season with the Giants!!!
