Hunter Pence


My apologies for what is undoubtedly a simpleton's question, but for the life of me I cannot remember if Hunter is currently a free agent or if We signed him for 2 yrs or more. As good (and long) a Gigantes Fan as I THINK I am, this info seems to elude me. Someone please steer me straight. Any similar situations, feel free to elucidate as well.
  BTW... tho i seldom post to this Board, I still think it has some of the most interesting discussions of Our Boys on the Web. Carry ON Gents!!

Hunter Pence | Outfielder
Team: San Francisco Giants
Age / DOB: (29) / 4/13/1983

The Giants plan to offer arbitration to Hunter Pence.
Pence batted just .219/.287/.384 across 248 plate appearances this year for San Francisco, but the Giants will keep him around and hope he can bounce back in 2013. He made $10.4 million in 2012, so his salary is probably going to jump close to $14 million next season. Nov 5 - 2:03 PM

GM: Giants keeping Hunter Pence
Updated: November 8, 2012, 12:06 AM ET
By Jerry Crasnick | ESPN.com

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. -- San Francisco Giants general manager Brian Sabean can guarantee that outfielder Hunter Pence will be back with the team in 2013. He is not close to ready to make the same assurances with closer Brian Wilson.

Sabean said Wednesday the Giants plan to tender a contract to Pence, even though the right fielder could be in line to make $13 million-plus in salary arbitration next season. Some media outlets have suggested the combination of Pence's big salary and his late-season struggles at the plate might prompt the Giants to consider cutting ties with the player and moving in a different direction with their outfield.

"Pence is going to be coming back," Sabean said at the general managers' meetings. "We think there are some things he can do to fix what went wrong this year. We like the player. We made a big trade to get him, and he's going to be a Giant next year."

The Giants acquired Pence, 29, in a July deadline deal with Philadelphia. Pence hit .219 with a .671 OPS for San Francisco in the final two months, and was even worse during the postseason, hitting .210 with 17 strikeouts in 62 at-bats.

But he drove in 45 runs in 59 regular-season games with the Giants, and he helped inspire the team with his emotional pregame pep talks during the playoffs and World Series.

"We never would have traded for a guy that we remotely thought we would be non-tendering," Sabean said. "So any speculation about that doesn't make any sense. By that point in the season, you pretty much know where a guy is going in terms of the arbitration clock and the money."
