I think it automatically makes the Giants the favorite to win the division, but that can probably be said for any NL West team who signs him, since every team is so bad.

Personally, I'm hoping the Giants sign him, but I won't be upset if they don't. I understand there is unwanted baggage, so if he becomes a Giant, the baggage is worth the bat. If not, then no problems to deal with. I think most Giants fans would agree, after years and years of Bonds.
