Giants won 3 titles with him on the team but he was benched for the first one because of fat. He came to spring training in 2011 in his best shape ever in the majors, only to get fat again for parts of 2012 and 2013. But, he was WS MVP in 2012. He was in good shape for him this year, ostensibly because it was a contract year. What an enigma, and I would not want to be in Ben C's shoes for this decision. I mean, how many other teams (Yankees and Giants?) have the need for a third baseman and can afford this one? Please come to Boston for the summer? I don't know,
