	Finley traded to Giants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Finley has long produced some of his biggest hits against the Giants while with every NL West rival except Colorado, hitting a grand slam for the Dodgers during the final weekend of the 2004 season to keep San Francisco from making the playoffs.
		Finley is likely to be the team's fourth outfielder at first if Bonds is healthy, but the Giants have been looking for a lefty to add to their lineup as insurance in case the slugger is still limited by his troublesome right knee.
		Finley said he will begin spring training trying to become a starter, and Sabean is thrilled Finley is versatile enough to play all three outfield spots.

		The man who traded Steve Finley to the Los Angeles Dodgers, a deal that badly stung the Padres, said it's hogwash to think he tried to keep Finley out of San Diego.
		On the day Garagiola traded Finley to the Dodgers, Towers said that Arizona treated the Padres as if "we were a leper colony," and Padres manager Bruce Bochy said Arizona wouldn't have dealt Finley to San Diego had the Padres offered their entire Double-A and Triple-A rosters.
		Finley fell in love with San Diego during his four years there, but after the 1998 World Series, the cash-strapped Padres allowed stars Kevin Brown, Greg Vaughn and Finley to leave as free agents.

	Sporting News, The: Ageless Angel: newly signed center fielder Steve Finley sees himself as an impact player well into ...
		Finley attributes much of his good fortune to a workout routine he began in 1997 that's based on strengthening the core muscles and making the body work as efficiently as possible.
		Finley was more sought after this offseason than he was as a free agent six years ago when clubs already were wondering how much was left in his tank.
		Finley, however, might have to deal with a few more days off than he'd like because the Angels have depth and Scioscia will be managing with October on his mind.

	Steve Finley hangs on tight
		Padres center fielder Steve Finley holds his left palm up to the umpire requesting a time-out and backs out of the batter's-box.
		Finley's prowess carried over to center field, making some of the Padres' best defensive plays of the year on a team noted for their fielding skills, although often overshadowed by super-stud Ken Caminiti on third base (who, incidentally, rarely grabs himself).
		And yes, a common sight is that of the lonely figure of lanky number 12, waiting patiently by the 405' mark on the outfield wall, glove ready, with his throwing hand planted firmly on his cup.

	Padres expand Finley trade talks \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		LOS ANGELES – In their ongoing attempt to get center fielder Steve Finley, which will succeed or fail this week, the Padres have shifted to other clubs in an effort to work a three-or four-team deal with Arizona.
		The Padres are Finley's first choice, according to persons close to the center fielder.
		But sources say Finley, eligible for free agency in November, has become more open to all contenders, rather than spending the final two months with an Arizona club on pace to lose more than 110 games.

		The 40-year-old Finley has been fighting shoulder problems since the second game of the season at Angel Stadium, when he collided with the 8-foot fence trying to leap for Alfonso Soriano's tiebreaking home run in the 12th inning of a 3-2 loss to Texas on April 6.

	Giants get Finley -- Alfonzo to Angels
		Finley also vetoed a trade to the Giants in July 2004, and later told reporters it was because the team didn't have a closer and wasn't heading in the right direction.
		And after 17 years in the majors, Finley still sees himself as an everyday player, which he wasn't last year with the Angels, largely because of a shoulder injury that affected his swing much of the season.
		Like Finley, Alfonzo is a former All-Star, but he has not produced in San Francisco the way the Giants had hoped when they signed him to a $26 million deal after the 2002 season.

		The Giants thought they were wrapping up a deal with Finley when the Angels swooped in with their decisive offer, which includes an option year that could raise the deal's total to $20 million.
		Finley confirmed he vetoed a trade to the Giants in July because he did not think they could compete for the NL West title, which, in a great irony, they lost on Finley's grand slam in the penultimate game of the season.
		Finley said neither his struggles at the Giants' ballpark nor the steroid controversy enveloping Barry Bonds figured in his decision.
