Evidently not a no brainer

Brian Giles recently turned down the chance to play for the Red Sox and I can't fathom out why.
On one had you have the chance to play for a world series title, in a baseball crazy town, with some great characters. On the other hand you get to stay in San Diego and play for a terrible team, in a lousy baseball town,without much future of getting better.
You say to No to that?
We are talking two months of travel. Two months. Evidently helping a team win a ring is not as fulfilling as plugging away with one of the worse teams in baseball. The team tried to give you away. They don't want you, they want you to leave. Take the hint, they are not going to pick up your option.

Giles really loves San Diego I think. He took a fairly sizeable paycut to stay there.

DePo really loves Giles too, so I wouldn’t be so sure about them not picking his option. (Possible PR spin here)

Giles has been one of the best players in the NL this year and San Diego can’t replace him, why not pick up his option?

It’s also pretty well documented that Giles is just kind of a weird dude.

I read that the Padres were planning on picking up Giles’ option. Like Andrew said, they don’t have anyone else.
