Jeremy Affeldt signed with the Giants for 2x4. This is the guy who Keith Law ranks higher than KRod and Fuentes. Still, good pickup for SF.

Not too interesting of a week this week, but next week is awesome. IMO, if Oklahoma can win the next two games (#2 Texas Tech and #12 Oklahoma State), they're in the BCS Championship Game.
They were showing it for a couple minutes in OT then they stopped saying that "due to NFL restrictions" they can't show it. Whatever, Pittsburgh-San Diego is on. Snowy, too.
Yeah, if we get one of them then Spring Training would be extremely important. If he excels and shows a lot of improvement then maybe he cracks the rotation from day one, but right now I would have more confidence in Masterson.
