If this is tit for tat for the Dodgers signing of Brian Wilson, I think the Dodgers benefit more. This is a fairly low-risk move for the Giants for this year, Lilly can plug some innings in relief or in spot starts down the stretch. Long-term? I'm really not sure there is a long-term there.

Giants To Sign Ted Lilly: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com:
The Giants have signed lefty Ted Lilly, reports Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish. MLBTR has confirmed the minor league deal, which is pending a physical. Lilly, 37, was designated for assignment by the Dodgers last month and released a few days ago. The Dodgers are on the hook for the remaining $3.7MM or so on his contract, less the prorated portion of the league minimum of Lilly returns to the Majors with San Francisco. Lilly is represented by Larry O'Brien of Full Circle Sports Management.
