Giants and CT renew for two years....
well at least I won't have to "learn" another organization before the moving trucks arrive at the end of the '09 season. Wonder if Simon will be back?
And in today's Richmond Times-Dispatch:
"A Class AA franchise from the Eastern League may be in Richmond's future, though relocation to Richmond seems more likely in 2010. An announcement, perhaps next month, of an approved stadium plan is expected to precede negotiations for a new team, making it highly unlikely one could play in Richmond at The Diamond next season.
At this time, Class AA is the highest competition level available for Richmond. The Class AA Connecticut franchise, because of weak attendance and an unfavorable ballpark location in Norwich, Conn., has been viewed as a possible replacement team for Atlanta's Class AAA club, which moved to Gwinnett County, Ga.
"I haven't had any conversations with any potential local ownership group from Richmond. None. Nobody," Lou DiBella, president of the Connecticut franchise, said yesterday.
DiBella said the Connecticut team will remain in Norwich for 2009, and chose not to speculate further."
And OMG does EME return?!?!
CONGRATS TI!!! As he and his wife welcomed their second child born into the world yesterday, a boucing baby girl!

Okay question. How long does the stadium have an agreement for. Isn't the opt out 2009, so couldn't dibella keep it till 2010?

he can opt(sell) out after '09 season at the earliest; he'll still own it in '10 if he doesn't sell it.
7:09 PM
Okay. If I was him, I'd just wait till 10'. He's got a definate team, he might as well let that run out again then sell. What's 1 year?

ti already has a son. he beat the stuffing out of cutter in the base running gig in '07. (i was there)
looks like we get to see the next class of "can't miss giant prospects" fall on their butts in the el. and of course, it will be dodd's fault or the weather or the attendance or the..................
