Pitcher Brad Penny and infielder Juan Uribe have turned down one-year contract offers to return to the Giants. San Francisco isn't in talks with either player currently. "In both cases you always want to put yourself on the other side," general manager Brian Sabean said in a conference call. "I don't know that they have enough information as to what they were hearing in the market to be able to react to our timing needs." One of the team's highest priorities is the catcher position.
