"I'm going to be?me," says Brian Wilson

These were the words by star relief pitcher Brian Wilson when the San Francisco Giants signalled with slight hope that he will be coming back in 2013 Major League Baseball season.

However, it seems a distant call now as the Giants recently did not tender his contract making him a free agent this offseason.

"I like our choices, including him being one, as we start the regular season," general manager Brian Sabean said earlier Friday.

"We've visited it internally, We are open to the idea. He certainly deserves that?consideration, It's really a snail's pace at this time, Not a ton expected. He's throwing 60 feet flat ground, We have fallback positions, We've created some options if one or both doesn't decide to sign with us," General manager Brian Sabean said.

He further said, "We may be prepared to go with the same group, We're open to that. He certainly deserves that consideration, I would think it would be later on."

Many say it was expected that Wilson will not get any potential extension with the Giants. He did not play well during the 2012 Major League Baseball season. He finished with 9.00 ERA along with one save, two strikeouts and 3.00 WHIP.

Overall he possesses career 3.21 ERA along with 171 saves, 340 strikeouts and 1.34 WHIP.

Last season, Wilson underwent Tommy John surgery which was the main reason he could not play the whole season.

Now free agent, Wilson, can make his moves choosing another franchise for his potential future. Many teams have also started looking ways to negotiate with Wilson?s agent.

On the other hand, few experts also mentioned a possibility that now since Wilson is a free agent; the Giants might talk to him for another season but with low priced deal. Before tendering contract, the three-time All Star was guaranteed $6.8 million.

Regarding re-signing, it all depends upon Giants general manager Brian Sabean. He likes him and always regarded him one of the best relief pitchers of recent times.

Next few weeks will be critical when Giants reliever will be deciding on his future relationship with another leading Major League team. ?
