This story is very reminiscent of what happened to NBA player Bonzi Wells a few years back…

After a solid 2005-06 season with the Sacramento Kings, Wells was ready for his big payday. The Kings offered him a 5-year, $38.5 million contract…and Bonzi just laughed at it. He decided to test the market, but nobody was biting. Nobody. And by the time he realized his mistake, the Kings didn’t want him either. He ended up signing with the Houston Rockets for the paltry sum of $2 million a season (down about $6 mil per from the Kings’ offer). Wells missed most of training camp, first due to a groin injury and then because of dental work. When he finally did show up, he was out of shape and overweight. Coach Jeff Van Gundy decided Wells didn’t deserve much playing time, and Wells got huffy. As a result, Bonzi was placed on the inactive list, dismissed from team practices, and forced to work with trainers to get in shape. Things got so bad that Van Gundy exiled Wells from the Toyota Center. He was finally allowed to rejoin the team in December, but he promptly injured his back and had to miss 10 games. Bonzi eventually made it back from injury and everything seemed fine, but then, out of nowhere, he up and left the team because he felt like he was “disrupting team chemistry.” Thus endeth his season.

The moral of this story is (READ THIS ADAM LAROCHE): don’t be greedy.

I would have to disagree. I think Sabean screwed up, but not because he wasn’t more patient. Sabean screwed up by offering LaRoche $17 M in the first place. This reeks of the Renteria deal. I am not the biggest LaRoche fan, and I think Huff offers more potential production (look at ‘08) than LaRoche. Just the possibility of giving him $17M makes my skin crawl. Good thing LaRoche is dumber than Sabean. The bottom line is this: We still don’t have our big bat, and I think the Giants overachieved in ‘09. Giants fans need to realize that the team will likely be similar, if not worse than last year. I know this is a “doom and gloom” approach, but if we had just offered Adam Dunn the same deal he got with the Nats last year, how much better would this team look? A guy that can actually put it into the Cove and hit 40 HRs looks pretty good right now.

I would have to say it was LaRoche. He wanted to see what else was out there. Figured his numbers would drop in San Francisco, and someone would match the offer or give hime something better. Sucks to be LaRoche right now.
