Ted Lilly is from California and he grew up a Giants fan, so he would be interested in returning to the Bay Area and pitching for his favorite team at some point.

"I was just looking at some of their starters, I don't know if (the Giants) have an opening in their rotation, but yeah, that would be a place I'd like to go,'' he said. "I'm not at the point of thinking about it too much, though, it's so early. A lot of things can happen, and this is a fun division to be in. It's not close to home, but it's the AL East.''

Lilly played for manager Felipe Alou when he was with Montreal.
