SAN FRANCISCO —Second baseman Marco Scutaro is staying in San Francisco, right
where he wanted to be. Houston Texans Watt Jersey . The NL
championship series MVP agreed to a $20 million, three-year contract with the
Giants late Tuesday. Vice president of baseball operations Bobby Evans said only
a physical was left to finalize the deal. “He was a priority from Day One,”
Evans said. “He was a key part of our 2012 success and served as a tremendous
veteran presence.” Earlier in the evening, Scutaro had been weighing a two-year
contract offer that included a vesting option—but he was seeking a three-year
deal to remain with the World Series champions. The Giants and Scutaros
representatives met Tuesday at the winter meetings in Nashville, Tenn. In other
moves, the Giants exercised 2014 contract options on manager Bruce Bochy and GM
Brian Sabean. The 37-year-old Scutaro batted .362 with three homers and 44 RBIs
in 61 regular-season games with the Giants after he was acquired in a July 27
trade with Colorado. He frequently said how much he enjoyed playing for San
Francisco and that he hoped he would return. The Giants suddenly have quite a
familiar roster returning after making two big moves in as many days to keep
their own free agents. On Monday, centre fielder Angel Pagan agreed to a $40
million, four-year contract. Left-handed reliever Jeremy Affeldt received an $18
million, three-year contract on Nov. 14. Retaining Affeldt, Pagan and Scutaro
were among the top priorities for Sabean and Evans this off-season. Giants CEO
Larry Baer considered it a productive winter meetings—and off-season so far
—for his busy club after already re-signing Affeldt last month. Winning the
World Series for the second time in three seasons put San Francisco behind on
its off-season plan again, though everyone in the front office would say thats a
great problem to have. “Culture is important, and Marco is a wonderful influence
with our players, especially the Latin players,” Baer said. The 31-year-old
Pagan batted .288 with eight home runs, 56 RBIs and a San Francisco-best 15
triples in his first season with the Giants. Pagan said late in the season and
again after the World Series parade that he hoped to return, but wanted to test
free agency and sought some job security in the form of a multiyear deal. On
Friday, Sabean said the club had made backup plans to move forward without Pagan
or Scutaro in case neither decided to re-sign—but progress with Pagan
apparently happened during the weekend after Sabean said, “We dont have a deal,
so that tells you were not close.” San Francisco declined Friday to tender a
contract to closer Brian Wilson, the 2010 major league saves leader with 48. The
right-hander is working his way back from a second Tommy John surgery on his
pitching elbow. Antonio Smith Jersey .S. Olympic basketball
team is too good for Spain. Carmelo Anthony came off the bench to score 23 of
his 27 points in the first half, and the Americans beat Spain 100-78 on Tuesday
night in a rematch of the gold-medal game — and possible preview of the next
one. Limited J.J. Watt Jersey . Speaking to the

a bit under 100 percent,” DeBoer said. http://www.shopnfltexansgear.com/connor-barwin-jersey/

activated outfielder Jason Bay from the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday. Bay,
who spent six weeks on the DL due to a rib fracture, was not in the lineup for
the Mets game against the Washington Nationals. Manager Terry Collins said Bay
had been sick for a few days and he planned to play him on Thursday. Bay played
left field on Tuesday night for Class-A St. Lucie in the second game of a
rehabilitation assignment. “From what Ive been told, and from what I feel, it
feels completely healed,” Bay said. “I was prepared to play, but at the same
time I think at this point one more days not gonna kill me.” New York also
placed right-handed pitcheer Chris Young, who started Tuesdays game, on the
paternity list. Womens J.J. Watt Jersey. It was Youngs first
start in more than a year after shoulder surgery. The Mets also reinstated
right-handed pitcher Pedro Beato from the disabled list and designated infielder
Josh Satin for assignment. Collins said that infielder Ruben Tejada, whos on the
disabled list with a strained right quad, returned to New York for an
examination after he removed himself from a rehab start in Buffalo on Tuesday.
