Closure NOT Closer!!

All of this Armando Benitez spin work must be keeping the Giants PR folks busy. I don’t care if he is overweight, or his knees are healthy or about his potentially bruised ego about not being handed the closer roll before Spring Training.

No amount of rehab, surgery or bullpen sessions will fix the man’s attitude. We are talking about the same guy who threw his entire team under the bus after a blown save, saying “I have played on better teams.” It is not so much his performance in the prior season but how he handled himself after the games and how he insulted the franchise and his teammates.

PLEASE SEND HIM PACKING. Trade him to Florida, get a prospect or two and eat some of the salary. Florida has proven to have a great depth in their position player prospects which the Giants lack. Heck, I would trade Armando to Budweiser for the perk of lowering beer prices at the stadium a few dollars.

I think for the remainder of Armando’s Giants tenure Bruce Bochy and the remainder of the Giants staff should pull a Parcells – T.O. and refer to him as the player.

So no more I feel healthy, I am excited a out the season junk from Benitez. The only way he will get himself out of this hole which he dug for himself is to show up, healthy, say nothing to the media at all and pitch like he is being paid 9 plus million dollars… oh wait he is.
