Circling the Bases: Winter Meetings

Am I the only one sick and tired of the Red Sox, Yankees and Dodgers being tied to every free agent? Sometimes I think reporters either (a) connecting dots or that they (b) don't vet their sources. I mean really... how could any team be interested in every player? Are the Giants interested in Josh Hamilton? How could they not be? Would they ever sign him to a contract? I'd put the odds of that happening at less than five percent. Heck, it might be one percent. Would it be accurate to say the Giants are “interested” in Hamilton? Strictly speaking of course the answer is yes. However, a reporting linking the two sides, or even mentioning the Giants as a possible landing spot, would be disingenuous at best. Remember that when you read all these reports flying around at the Winter Meetings.
