The one comment that makes me pause about Melky Cabrera -- bought high, sold low. - juan 2011-11-12 14:17:25 (296 views)
- I'm just hoping this isn't the only "upgrade" to the offense.. - Ghost Dog 2011-11-13 10:04:14 (29 views)
- With Sanchez and "selling low", we got the most important game he will ever pitch out of him, the clincher against San Diego. I doubt he ever rises to that again. - starburst 2011-11-13 04:52:49 (34 views)
  - This is why I could never hate on Sanchy. - adios pelota 2011-11-13 09:01:10 (13 views)
  - That game was part of a great run that was crucial that year, but yeah. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-13 08:22:32 (28 views)
- the sell low part is hindsight at this point - microwave donut 2011-11-12 21:47:22 (44 views)
- I'd be more worried about that if the reason for his season - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-12 15:19:36 (66 views)
  - the thing to keep in mind about sanchez is that his no hitter was his only career complete game..enough said - skontch 2011-11-13 06:24:58 (14 views)
- he is a free agent next year...so, if anything,things are looking good for us - ucsbben 2011-11-12 15:11:39 (21 views)
  - Nah, I do not look at it like that. I am assuming we traded a legit fifth SP, so want Melky to be a piece of the puzzle... - juan 2011-11-14 09:42:10 (24 views)

  - im not sure crawford can get it done, but the guy fields everything and Gs can't afford a good FA SS - Baby Giraffe 2011-11-13 10:11:53 (10 views)
  - good glove, alternatives in FA are either really expensive or not appreciably better better - microwave donut 2011-11-12 21:55:21 (14 views)

    - what he would contribute to wins? good at defense sure, that is what ss do....terrible hitter, even in the minors - ucsbben 2011-11-12 14:45:22 (14 views)

  - terrible deal. Papelbon is declining and no closer is worth 12 per - microwave donut 2011-11-12 21:56:21 (11 views)
  - Phillies are becoming like the Yankees of the NL - Bdogg 2011-11-11 18:55:27 (8 views)
  - I'm surprised the Phillies would sign Papelbon for that much when they could sign Bell for $20-30M less - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-11 14:21:59 (16 views)
    - Why didn't they re-sign Madson? He was going to sign for a little less. - juan 2011-11-12 06:02:13 (17 views)

some of the Giants minor-leaguers that became free agents this November: Travis Ishikawa, Sharlon Schoop, Osiris Matos, Alex Hinshaw, and Max Ramirez. - Baby Giraffe 2011-11-11 12:17:07 (43 views)
- when Hinshaw first came up, i thought he had a chance... if he ever straightened out his cap. - Baby Giraffe 2011-11-11 12:17:45 (30 views)
  - Wrong: he needs to *fold* his cap. - starburst 2011-11-11 13:33:51 (14 views)
    - Would love to resign Max Ramirez and see if he can stick as the backup catcher - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-11 14:02:15 (61 views)

        don't think he is starting material, but could be decent - The Dude 2011-11-11 13:03:57 (23 views)
- true. if they retain beltran that trade tastes a little better. - nuschler 2011-11-11 09:41:17 (59 views)
  - If Beltran doesn't come back, I think price was too high - Duck the Fodgers 2011-11-11 14:08:36 (26 views)

- This is what I was talking about below. I rather shoot the wad on Prince Fielder. That would be a bold move for 2012 and the long-run. - juan 2011-11-11 08:40:14 (144 views)
  - Plus, those guys want 20-25 per for 7-10 years. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-11 19:06:14 (17 views)
    - That is high. If we gave him Zito type money, I thought 20% raise or ~7 years $130 - 140 M. - juan 2011-11-12 07:07:11 (19 views)
      - There's a pretty good article on espn about what they're after. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-12 09:21:23 (13 views)
  - But that isn't the choice. It's Beltran or some smaller salary. Not Fielder. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-11 09:33:56 (16 views)
- I'm conflicted about resigning Beltran. I think he's a great player but from my outside perspective as a fan, - nuschler 2011-11-11 08:36:58 (83 views)

      - Well, there were two different bits of advice years apart. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-11 12:21:45 (18 views)
        
        IIRC that latest piece of advice became public knowledge courtesy of the ShowTime show. - JoeDaddy 2011-11-12 00:37:28 (19 views)
  - Agree, + he is 35. But if you get him for 3 years max 10-12 per you have to make that move IMO - MoonMan 2011-11-11 09:11:00 (53 views)
  - I never read anything negative about him from the beat writers - Hawk_941 2011-11-11 08:42:35 (56 views)
    - If they sign him, I hope you're right. I just remember he was pretty selfish when he showed up here. - nuschler 2011-11-11 09:27:59 (19 views)
      - Only issue I had was that he wouldn't play LF. I hope that if we sign him its with the understanding that he plays LF - sbgiants 2011-11-11 10:21:05 (19 views)
        
        His desire to play RF could have been simply - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-11 12:23:52 (22 views)
        
        Playing LF might be a deal breaker for him. That and if the Giants haven't upgraded their offense sufficiently IHO. - nuschler 2011-11-11 10:36:19 (14 views)

If there is one thing I have learned from last year, it is there are no short-term fixes. - juan 2011-11-11 05:42:54 (164 views)
- The lineup is at a crossroads IMO. Are we going to get a middle of the order bat or a leadoff guy? - sbgiants 2011-11-11 10:48:15 (17 views)
