    - and i like him as a gm..er, he is alright - ucsbben 2011-11-19 18:28:37 (17 views)
- would start barmes over joey greco at ss.....otherwise, agree - ucsbben 2011-11-19 16:17:29 (17 views)
- I've been advocating Willingham for some time and have changed my mind on Crisp. - juan 2011-11-19 12:03:37 (133 views)
  - Disclaimer - I don't play GM because I'm lousy at it. But if a guy's playing performance is affected by his attitude, I don't think I want him. - starburst 2011-11-20 05:09:08 (49 views)
  - agree with your take..would be happy with Willingham AND Coco - Ghost Dog 2011-11-19 12:07:03 (21 views)
- I think it would be a smart move - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-19 10:57:01 (107 views)
  - Wish the G's would just sign BOTH Beltran and Willingham!.. - Ghost Dog 2011-11-19 12:04:30 (42 views)

    - Yikes. That offer seems high for a SS like Barmes - glass half empty 2011-11-20 09:31:03 (19 views)
    - that is a bit rich...still, i would rather pay him than pay the two lefties in the bullpen...i dunno - ucsbben 2011-11-19 17:59:52 (21 views)

Baggs:.......UPDATED: Giants add Angel Villalona (no longer on restricted list) to 40-man roster, designate Darren Ford, Waldis Joaquin - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-19 07:46:31 (96 views)
- got to wonder where they'll send Villalona? - miamigo 2011-11-19 17:54:08 (36 views)
  - Augusta for the first couple of months and then move him up to San Jose - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-19 19:31:47 (16 views)
    - I would think it depends on what his activity level in the DR was/is - microwave donut 2011-11-22 10:19:47 (9 views)

Baggs:.....Giants add Angel Villalona to 40-man roster, designate Darren Ford, Waldis Joaquin - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-18 21:49:33 (151 views)
- So I assume that means Ford's gone for good... - The Lucky Cap 2011-11-18 23:07:38 (80 views)
  - Actually, I think it's Graham who displaced Ford. - Hawk_941 2011-11-19 00:27:18 (57 views)
  - I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants signed Ford to a minor league contract - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-18 23:10:40 (30 views)
    - I think Ford had his best season. - juan 2011-11-19 06:31:18 (82 views)
- Major League Baseball has taken Angel Villalona off the restricted list, I'm told. He is applying for his U.S. work visa now. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-18 22:08:24 (49 views)
  - Giants VP Bobby Evans expects no hangups w/ Villalona's visa. He's at club's Dominican camp getting back in shape. The swing is still there. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-18 22:09:19 (93 views)

Buster Olney: Even though the Giants added Melky Cabrera, their priority is said to be (still) adding an outfielder. Carlos Beltran first on their list. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-18 18:58:01 (133 views)
- IF we got Beltran, any chance we see this lineup? - MoonMan 2011-11-18 20:12:30 (290 views)
  - How much are you willing to spend on Torres and for how many years? - juan 2011-11-19 03:50:19 (81 views)
    - Wouldn't give Torres much, 1.5 for 1? - MoonMan 2011-11-19 21:05:45 (10 views)
    - i'd give Torres 2 years if he goes bargain basement. say 2 for 2. - miamigo 2011-11-19 18:00:25 (8 views)
  - No - Al Attles' Soul Train 2011-11-18 20:26:04 (67 views)
    - I like it. Hope they sign one of Beltran or Rollins. - Psyched 2011-11-18 20:53:11 (19 views)
    - Holtz, Torres platoon would be fine. Torres brings great D still, can take a bb, has speed. Not giving up on him yet. - MoonMan 2011-11-18 20:36:26 (36 views)

Here's the thing about our payroll - one flap down 2011-11-18 12:11:57 (154 views)
- That's the elephant in the closet - #28 Buster Posey 2011-11-18 16:49:43 (51 views)
- It's because of contracts like Zito and Rowand that people shouldn't be so eager to give huge long term contracts to someone like Reyes - tajackamo 2011-11-18 14:49:04 (96 views)
  - agreed on reyes - DJ 2011-11-18 19:24:22 (31 views)
  - Based on that we shouldn't give long-term deals to Posey just because he's a catcher. - juan 2011-11-18 18:01:26 (93 views)
    - Pineapples? - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-19 08:56:36 (23 views)

    - Lol not the same at all - tajackamo 2011-11-18 19:31:34 (38 views)
      - That's cause Posey isn't a $100 M+ contract blocking the plate right now. LOL. - juan 2011-11-18 20:43:42 (35 views)
        
        I repeat, not worth arguing - tajackamo 2011-11-18 21:19:30 (31 views)
        
        I'd love Reyes for two years. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-19 08:57:12 (19 views)
        
        In a 2 year deal, you can afford to offer most any astronomical number you want - tajackamo 2011-11-19 13:30:18 (20 views)
        
        +1 - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-21 09:03:48 (8 views)

Larry Baer's in control now. 5-6% ticket price hikes. Some fans to get double digit %age hikes. - juan 2011-11-18 08:59:06 (167 views)
- Prince Fielder - Hoser 2011-11-18 11:21:47 (70 views)
  - I like Fatty, but he wants too much money to become our home run king. We can get Reyes for cheaper and he'll still be our best hitter. - juan 2011-11-18 18:11:27 (28 views)
  - Because it's committing $130M more? - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-18 11:52:43 (59 views)

wait, why do the red sox want beltran? - ucsbben 2011-11-17 16:24:08 (124 views)
- 2 year deal? Giants should get in on that action - gwarriors 2011-11-18 13:05:14 (36 views)
  - And if it's three? - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-18 13:56:27 (13 views)
    - I'd do as much as 3/45 for Beltran, or 4/40 for Rollins. - Psyched 2011-11-18 14:10:10 (10 views)
- Agreed....Fuck the Red Sox - The Dude 2011-11-18 08:27:43 (12 views)
- just because they can. - one flap down 2011-11-18 05:30:56 (11 views)
- Because Drew and David Ortiz are free agents - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-17 20:21:04 (19 views)
  - whoops...for some reason I thought they were both free agents next year...welp, that explains it - ucsbben 2011-11-18 07:35:30 (11 views)

Houston Astros move to AL in 2013. It means more inter-league play. - juan 2011-11-17 13:21:54 (71 views)
- Constant inter league play? I hate this. Two leagues, different styles of ball and I like ours better. A handful of games in a year, ok. But ongoing? Screw that. - starburst 2011-11-17 17:10:33 (16 views)
  - That's how I feel too. - The Lucky Cap 2011-11-18 23:08:41 (9 views)

  - I don't mind it at all. - Hawk_941 2011-11-17 14:48:52 (51 views)
    - I hated the fact that schedules weren't identical. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-18 08:58:14 (17 views)
    - My sentiments, exactly - tajackamo 2011-11-17 23:58:12 (9 views)
    - +1 - JoeDaddy 2011-11-17 15:00:31 (33 views)
  - I enjoy watching AL vs Giants/A's games live. - juan 2011-11-17 13:56:38 (48 views)
    - i hate interleague play only slightly less than the DH..it's just - skontch 2011-11-17 17:03:41 (28 views)
      - I'm getting to be an old fogey, but without inter-league play, I wouldn't see good teams. - juan 2011-11-17 22:21:17 (42 views)

Clayton Kershaw Wins NL CY Young - nuschler 2011-11-17 11:25:23 (21 views)
- He pumps Timmy up. Too bad we still don't have the lineup to back him up. - juan 2011-11-17 12:38:24 (76 views)
  - They don't have a good team yet. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-17 13:20:43 (26 views)
    - I mean the upper management has mis-managed the team. Yet, Kershaw is able to beat the Giants out of the playoffs. - juan 2011-11-17 13:23:24 (31 views)
- Really hate the fact we are going to have to face him - The Dude 2011-11-17 12:02:38 (34 views)
  - He may have been this year. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-17 13:21:56 (31 views)

  - explained - MoonMan 2011-11-17 10:04:32 (111 views)
  - Idk the format, but now they are tweeting somthing about a 1 game playoff - MoonMan 2011-11-17 09:41:08 (47 views)
    - Dumb. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-17 13:25:26 (16 views)
    - 1 playoff game is ridiculously stupid..... - The Dude 2011-11-17 10:03:00 (15 views)
      - I don't want to see two wild cards go for more. - juan 2011-11-17 12:54:30 (31 views)
      - I'd prefer that they just make the Divisional Round a best-of-seven instead of the best-of-five - JoeDaddy 2011-11-17 10:22:11 (23 views)
        
        I'd prefer that they figure out a way not to play the WS in the snow. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-17 13:26:48 (22 views)
        
        Imagine the number of inside-the-park homers there'd be with OFers looking for baseballs in the snow - tajackamo 2011-11-17 17:50:16 (13 views)
        
        Bring back the Charlie Finley yellow ball and that won't be a problem - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-18 09:01:33 (9 views)

        Mandate domes by 2020 - starburst 2011-11-17 17:00:00 (10 views)
        
        I know you're joking, but domes...ugh. - Hawk_941 2011-11-18 08:25:06 (16 views)
        
        x2. And our newer ball park is beautiful. They should just stop. Baseball shouldn't be in a dome or in snow. - starburst 2011-11-18 09:58:33 (15 views)
        
        safeco and minute maid parks are both beautiful places with retractable roofs. - nuschler 2011-11-18 10:57:47 (12 views)
        
        i'm all for retractable domes. That should be the mandate. - nuschler 2011-11-18 09:57:52 (11 views)
        
        lol...yes, that would be preferable - JoeDaddy 2011-11-17 13:37:06 (14 views)
        
        agree about the AL East. intentially or not, this format pretty much guarantees - nuschler 2011-11-17 10:28:26 (21 views)
        
        checkout the last 5 season standings in the AL if they had used this system. - nuschler 2011-11-17 10:34:13 (26 views)
        
        that's crazy...but I guess upon further review - JoeDaddy 2011-11-17 10:52:29 (27 views)
        
        good points. if this is really about knocking down the wcards, then a 3-game series would really - nuschler 2011-11-17 11:21:07 (17 views)
        
        that's true - I'd be down for 3 gms, but everything I've heard suggests it's gonna be the one-gm deal - JoeDaddy 2011-11-17 11:29:12 (13 views)
      - agree. i'd go with a three game series. - nuschler 2011-11-17 10:06:37 (12 views)
        
        +1 def a 3 game series would be cool but I'm Ok with WC's coming out of the same division as long as they have the best records ie.. - MoonMan 2011-11-17 10:34:34 (29 views)
        
        also, i don't think both wild card teams should be able to come from the same division. - nuschler 2011-11-17 10:10:30 (11 views)
        
        see...now that would make things interesting - JoeDaddy 2011-11-17 10:26:06 (22 views)
        
        Just stick the Yanks and Sox in their own division already - tajackamo 2011-11-17 17:55:41 (11 views)
        
        yeah. somewhere like the AL East! - nuschler 2011-11-18 12:43:38 (9 views)
  - the yankees and the red sox are automatic wild card teams if they don't legitimately make the playoffs. - nuschler 2011-11-17 09:37:11 (7 views)

  - agreed - Rubber Soul 2011-11-17 08:00:11 (9 views)
- Doubt it was SF w/ the offer, more likely MIL.. - Ghost Dog 2011-11-17 07:32:44 (32 views)
  - Brewers giving Reyes that much? They should pony up on Fielder if that's the case - gwarriors 2011-11-17 08:40:06 (10 views)
- I really f'in hope so - Rubber Soul 2011-11-17 07:15:46 (32 views)
- I doubt it. Not while they're trying to nail down contracts with Timmy and Cain - nuschler 2011-11-17 07:07:14 (11 views)
- that would be crazy - Rubber Soul 2011-11-17 06:47:01 (35 views)
  - Yeah, if the budget is $130 M. If the offer is $110 M for six years, it works out to $18.3 M+/yr which is a lot. - juan 2011-11-17 07:17:40 (61 views)
    - reyes would make this team dominant IMO - Rubber Soul 2011-11-17 07:21:03 (51 views)
      - With Reyes, we would be the front runners to win the next 5 WS's - The Dude 2011-11-17 08:49:38 (25 views)
