Cody Ross and Pat Burrell won’t have a choice in testing the free agent market because the Giants declined to offer either of them arbitration. The down side for the Giants is that now the team won’t get compensation, but on a good note, they won’t be stuck with either player at a potentially inflated value.  This was pretty much expected and it now frees up some money to go up and shore up an offense that was one of the worst in baseball.

The Giants have a few other people testing the waters as well.  Carlos Beltran, Orlando Cabrera, Guillermo Mota and Mark De Rosa are all also free agents.  There’s also twelve younger players eligible for arbitration so the front office is going to be busy this offseason.
