When switch-pitcher Pat Venditte is trying to make his decision on where to sign as a free agent, he likes to fall back on one principle.
"I always kinda tended to go with the place where I felt I was wanted the most," Venditte said on KNBR 680 on Friday. "And right from the get-go, I felt that San Francisco would be that place and sure enough, it was."
The 33-year-old Venditte agreed to a one-year deal worth $585,000 with the Giants on Friday, and he's sure new president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi's familiarity with him had something to do with why they reunited with San Francisco.
