He apparently gets along really well with Gibbons.
Lo Duca doesn't make much sense though, he's not a big upgrade on Zaun and he's unlikely going to sign for only one year (which is what the Jays are likely looking for with Thigpen in the system).
edit: Despite that, it sounds like he's close to signing a one year deal with the team.

I don't hate the idea but it only makes sense if Lo Duca's hitting improves this season (which I don't expect it to).
Based on all reports, the Giants are still considering a Lincecum for Rios swap. The more I look at it, the more I like it - Lincecum has nasty stuff and he legitimately has the potential to be one of the best pitchers in all of baseball.
