I think it's good for us to get an idea what '06 might look like. If we don't play these guys this year, then we don't know and we have question marks that affect all the offseason plans.
More Quotes from Peter Magowan:
These things are always easier to say in retrospect that you shouldn't have done it. We did it because I think he deserved it. He asked for it. Based on what he had done for the Giants , I think he deserved it at the time. He played more games than anyone else on the team - 152 games - he was the MVP again. Possibly by showing that respect for him and what he had done for the Giants , it might have been another motivation and inspiration for him to give the best he possibly could for the Giants .Peter Magowan
I think, from all that I've seen and from that all that I've heard, he's going to do fine. You never know. He could trudge out to left field at any point and his career could be over. He certainly seems to be able to still hit a baseball. He says he's not in pain. He hasn't done the really tough stuff yet. I'm sure that will happen within the next three weeks.

Even though the timing is difficult for us, we'll survive. We'll get through this. I think Ned has enough integrity, that even though he is aware of our strategy, he's not going to steal our people or attempt to steal people that we're discussing final arrangements with. I think Ned can draw a line in the sand.

If not a reasonable thing to do, at least it was an understandable thing to do. It's so easy to write we should have seen it coming, but you could have written that in 2004, 2003 or 2002 or 2001. He's an old player by baseball standards, and yet he was better than anyone else all of those years.
