The Giants are genuinely interested in free-agent slugger Manny Ramirez, but won't break the bank in order to sign him.

San Francisco ranked next-to-last in the National League in scoring last season.

"You'd be an idiot if you didn't say a guy like Manny Ramirez can't help your team," center fielder Aaron Rowand said. "But even with that being said, there's not a guy in here who's looking at that and hoping and praying. To a man, we're all confident about what we have right now."

"Manny Ramirez is an unbelievable hitter," right fielder Randy Winn said. "He's probably the best RBI guy that I've ever played against. Of course he's going to help any team he goes to. But it's nothing I can focus on because it's kind of like a trade rumor. It's probably not going to happen."
