There's nothing like uninformed speculation

With pitchers and catchers reporting in just one week, here are a few random swings from the far reaches of the dugout....

Dexter Fowler

ESPN's Buster Olney reports OF Dexter Fowler should expect no more than a two-year, $20 million deal.  If that's the case, should the Giants strike during a buyers market in anticipation of Angel Pagan's departure?

The Giants were one of many teams linked to Fowler in the off-season. San Francisco eventually settled on Denard Span, but a bargain is a bargain....

Yovani Gallardo

The Orioles are reportedly close to a deal with SP Yovani Gallardo, says MLB Trade Rumors. The O's were also supposed to be one of the prime suitors for Tim Lincecum's services.

'The Freak' has yet to schedule his long-discussed "hey look, I'm healthy" showcase. Is this a warning sign that the market for the two-time Cy Young winner may be drying up, and does that open the door for a return to San Francisco?

Bennedict Arnold, uh, Juan Uribe

Since the Giants are on a nostalgia tour, it's no surprise that Olney reports there were discussion to bring Juan Uribe back, although the asking price was too high.

Is 'Jazz Hands" worth pursuing, or is his apparent opinion of his own value too high to consider?

He was a big part of the 2010 title. He also bolted soon after for Chavez Latrine. Is that just too much for Giants fans to forgive?
