Giants, SS Miguel Tejada agree to 1-year deal

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—The World Series champion San Francisco Giants have found their new shortstop, agreeing to terms with free agent Miguel Tejada(notes) on a $6.5 million, one-year contract Tuesday.

The deal is pending a physical. The Giants didn’t expect to make a formal announcement until later this week at the earliest, depending on how soon Tejada could get to town for his physical.

Tejada told The Associated Press in the Dominican Republic that he had agreed to the deal worth $6.5 million.

“I’m very happy and satisfied to reach an agreement with the San Francisco Giants,” Tejada told the AP in Spanish. “I take pride in having the opportunity to compete for that team.”

Tejada, who played 156 games last season with Baltimore and San Diego, would take over a spot filled previously by World Series MVPEdgar Renteria(notes) and Juan Uribe(notes).

Tejada batted .269 with 15 home runs, 26 doubles and 71 RBIs between his two clubs in 2010.

Huff stays with Giants for $22M, 2-year deal

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Aubrey Huff(notes) flew over San Francisco and was reminded again why he loves it so much.

Huff took a short break to decompress after the World Series, then wasted little time accomplishing his offseason plan: re-signing with the Giants.

Huff is staying put with San Francisco just as he’d hoped, agreeing to a $22 million, two-year contract with the World Series champions Tuesday. He receives $10 million in each of the next two seasons, and the Giants have a $10 million club option for 2013 with a $2 million buyout.

SF Giants' Posey 'humbled' by rookie honor

(11-15) 13:15 PST -- Buster Posey now has a pretty trophy to display alongside his World Series championship ring. The inscription reads, "2010 National League Rookie of the Year."
Posey handily defeated Atlanta right fielder Jason Heyward in balloting by 32 members of the Baseball Writers Association of America, who picked the Giants catcher out of a strong rookie crop even though he did not reach the majors until May 29. Nine rookies received votes.
"I'm extremely excited, happy and humbled to win this honor with all the talent in the NL this year," Posey said Monday as he and his wife were traveling to the Florida Keys for a vacation. "That makes it more special."
Posey became the sixth Giant and first in 35 years to win the award, which was established in 1947. He joined Willie Mays (1951), Orlando Cepeda (1958), Willie McCovey (1959), Gary Matthews (1973) and John Montefusco (1975).
