Terms of the deal were not announced, but Sanchez's salary package
Terms of the deal were not announced, but Sanchez's salary package was believed to have exceeded the two-year, $10 million contract Pittsburgh offered him shortly before trading him to San Francisco. Sanchez hit .284 with one home run and seven RBIs for the Giants, and .293 with seven homers and 41 RBIs in 111 games overall. Had he remained healthy, he likely would have accumulated the 635 plate appearances he needed to guarantee the $8.1 million club option on his contract for 2010. At 31, Sanchez is fully capable of batting .300 with a dozen homers and 70 RBIs, numbers that would make him a solid yet unspectacular option up the middle.
