  - MLBTR says after arb we save around 1 mill- Milk gets around 4 and Dirty around 5 - MoonMan 2011-11-08 06:10:57 (19 views)
  - Melky is a one year guy. Affeldt and Lopez aren't going anywhere. - starburst 2011-11-08 06:05:12 (14 views)
  - don't really have a reliable 2nd lefty for the pen in the minors right now. - miamigo 2011-11-07 21:42:59 (39 views)
    - Whoops. I responded to you before looking at ucsbben's post. - starburst 2011-11-08 06:05:51 (16 views)
    - The guys they traded weren't that guy either, though. - starburst 2011-11-08 06:04:25 (14 views)
- This is a huge gamble IMO - DL 2011-11-07 17:51:39 (103 views)
  - Sanchez is a bigger gamble. - Hawk_941 2011-11-08 09:03:10 (19 views)
  - He hit even better away, and it's not such a hitter's park - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-08 09:01:26 (24 views)

      - nice...thanks for that. Was wondering myself. - JoeDaddy 2011-11-08 00:07:17 (13 views)
  - Not considering what they gave up - Bdogg 2011-11-07 17:59:57 (26 views)
    - this looks like an even deal to me. gives both teams potential answers. - miamigo 2011-11-07 21:45:00 (20 views)
      - If I have never have to witness such apathy on the mound again, I will be a happy man - Baby Giraffe 2011-11-07 23:34:26 (19 views)
        
        If he really was not trying to get back to pitching after than ankle sprain, then screw him. Watching from the outside, I think a lot of us thought that it was the Gs who were sitting HIM. Not quite, apparently. - starburst 2011-11-08 06:07:45 (12 views)

IMO, Crawford will end up at SS after one more OF signing. - Hawk_941 2011-11-07 16:07:28 (83 views)
- I would be pissed if they sign Cuddyer - microwave donut 2011-11-07 17:17:50 (78 views)

Check out the Giants 25-man roster. - juan 2011-11-07 15:51:12 (261 views)
- They are celebrating around the Giants offices today - Bdogg 2011-11-07 16:08:46 (108 views)
  - Sounded like they felt Sanchez wasn't working hard to get back on the mound after the ankle sprain and that maybe he just didn't care. - starburst 2011-11-07 16:17:15 (75 views)
    - It certainly did sound like that. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-07 16:56:20 (63 views)

We also can't forget that Huff - The Dude 2011-11-07 14:02:55 (97 views)
- and he might actually work out this off-season instead of pounding beer. - Baby Giraffe 2011-11-07 14:59:22 (17 views)
  - The beer diet doesn't work? - starburst 2011-11-07 16:20:14 (16 views)

- Yeah, there are lots of reasons to think he could have a comeback year - Bdogg 2011-11-07 14:52:22 (35 views)
- We'll see if he loses that boiler first. - Psyched 2011-11-07 14:11:33 (18 views)

My Lineup with NO more moves: - Al Attles' Soul Train 2011-11-07 14:02:32 (106 views)
- Thinking like the Gs, I'd trade Kepp (who is arb eligible), plug in Burris to the utility role, save a couple mil to throw at Beltran. - Psyched 2011-11-07 14:10:31 (62 views)
  - Agree. That's not a bad move. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-07 15:12:20 (13 views)
    - +1 - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 15:29:11 (11 views)
  - Of course. I would trade the entire bench to get Beltran... - Al Attles' Soul Train 2011-11-07 14:11:29 (39 views)
- Kepp at 1B batting third? no - The Dude 2011-11-07 14:04:34 (49 views)
  - Just say no to Huff. He is done. - Al Attles' Soul Train 2011-11-07 14:08:17 (45 views)
    - Do you realize that Keppinger has played a total of 50.2 innings at 1B - Hawk_941 2011-11-07 15:41:32 (27 views)
      - Just a guess Hawk. - Al Attles' Soul Train 2011-11-07 16:48:06 (30 views)
        
        I can't argue with your perfect world scenario. - Hawk_941 2011-11-07 16:52:46 (20 views)
    - Huff or Belt will be at first. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-07 15:04:01 (29 views)

Let's assume Beltran doesn't resign with the Giants, would you be happy with this lineup? - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 13:57:59 (112 views)
- Hell ya, but I'd move Cabrera to 2-hole, Willingham up a spot, and Sanchez down to 7. - juan 2011-11-07 14:07:48 (24 views)
- yes....I would be fine with Holtz and Willingham - The Dude 2011-11-07 14:01:31 (35 views)
  - Would go with Crisp over Holtz because Crisp is a better CF than Cabrera, and he'll have to cover some left-center with Winningham in LF - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 14:07:01 (30 views)
    - I would as well, but Im saying I would be fine with Willingham - The Dude 2011-11-07 14:30:33 (24 views)
- Willingham is goin to Miami IMO. How about Cuddyer? - Psyched 2011-11-07 14:01:20 (17 views)
  - Sounds like Cuddyer is going to sign with Phil - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 14:07:38 (17 views)
    - No, he's not. Because - Psyched 2011-11-07 14:13:21 (53 views)

Headcase is gone! - Bdogg 2011-11-07 13:50:49 (47 views)
- Even if Cabrera doesn't pan out, A. we still have four quality starters; B, it's only for one year, he doesn't block Gary Brown - starburst 2011-11-07 14:06:37 (17 views)
  - If we traded a rotation pitcher for a one-year guy I don't much like it. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-07 14:42:10 (14 views)
    - Sanchez wasn't going to be here more than one more year - Bdogg 2011-11-07 14:48:54 (27 views)
      - I suppose that's true. Wasn't thinking it through. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-07 15:09:10 (36 views)
        
        You're right about Brown. Like Belt, if he's going to be the guy, he'll grab that spot regardless of who's around. - starburst 2011-11-07 16:29:00 (27 views)
        
        I don't worry about it - Bdogg 2011-11-07 16:05:59 (20 views)
    - If it helps, Sanchez is a one-year guy, cause he's gonna be a FA next year and the Gs def werent going to sign him longterm - Psyched 2011-11-07 14:44:21 (16 views)
      - Yup...from Baggs:..it’s clear the Giants had no appetite in tendering him a contract, especially after he showed little interest in pitching again after spraining his ankle in August. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 15:12:37 (15 views)

Henry Schulman:....Sabean answers a lot of questions surrounding today’s deal for Melky Cabrera, but a lot of answers will have to wait - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 13:08:09 (132 views)
- Baggs:...Giants news and notes on Melky Cabrera’s new role, Pablo Sandoval’s winter plans and how today’s trade sets up the rest of the offseason - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 13:25:38 (108 views)
- guess no Cespedes....Beltran or Bust - The Dude 2011-11-07 13:22:21 (47 views)
  - They should be able to find a 5th starter without too much problem - Bdogg 2011-11-07 13:56:59 (31 views)
    - no doubt.....5th starter is an easy find and great for players - The Dude 2011-11-07 14:00:29 (33 views)
      - +1. We have to find out if Sheets can still pitch. - juan 2011-11-07 14:17:37 (46 views)
  - No! Cespedes! - starburst 2011-11-07 13:29:32 (16 views)

I'll be seeing a buddy who is a big K.C. fan this weekend and get his take on Melky. - starburst 2011-11-07 12:44:21 (17 views)

Who would you rather have roaming RF? - The Dude 2011-11-07 12:35:39 (50 views)
- Beltran scares me. He's a walking DL and he's now 35 so I don't see that changing - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:46:55 (31 views)
  - yeah - starburst 2011-11-07 12:48:46 (18 views)
- Nate, and move Carlos to left. That will depend on the market for Carlos. - starburst 2011-11-07 12:46:47 (11 views)

Calvin - you rock. I didn't want to mess up the design of that beautiful thread. - starburst 2011-11-07 12:34:26 (15 views)
- Thanks....I'm off all week so I have the time - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:36:27 (14 views)

Now sign Beltran for 3 years and a team option - The Dude 2011-11-07 12:31:55 (29 views)

Sabean on:Melky's 2011: "Everyone thought he was in much better shape, more committed. We hope breakout year more indicative of where career heading." - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:23:01 (34 views)
- Bochy on lineup fit w/Melky: "He's a run-producer with ability to knock in runs. Can hit at top of order, whether 1st or 2nd. Hard to say." - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:23:43 (21 views)
  - Bochy said he might not commit to a position for Melky until spring training. That leaves open possibility to acquire another OF. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:24:50 (20 views)
    - Bochy said he put Pablo in LF for one inning on All-Star tour cuz it was a Panda dream. No plan for him to play LF with Giants. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:25:11 (18 views)
      - Bochy said he asked Pablo Sandoval if he'd gained weight. Pablo said no. Pledged to come into camp lighter than when he arrived last spring - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:29:36 (18 views)
        
        Sabean unsure how Melky move will affect Andres Torres. Also said more discussions needed before they decide whether to go after another SP. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:30:01 (18 views)
        
        Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports, the Yankees, Phillies, Marlins, Blue Jays, Giants, Nationals, Indians, A's and Pirates have all expressed interest in 26-year-old Cuban outfielder Yoennis Cespedes. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:33:10 (37 views)
        
        Sabean:on Brandon Crawford in AFL: "He's done nothing to hurt" his chances. No decision on SS yet. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:37:57 (25 views)
        
        GIants will not be involved on Cuban defector Cespedes, Sabean said. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:38:32 (20 views)
        
        Trade market wasn't great for Sanchez, Sabean saying, "This year didn't help not being able to not come back at the end of the year." - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:43:12 (17 views)

Baggs:..... Source told me the Giants strongly considering B. Crawford at SS if they could improve lineup elsewhere. Melky is a move in that direction. - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 11:20:40 (53 views)
- They need a lot more moves to do that - Shallow Hal 2011-11-07 11:59:44 (52 views)
  - They need one more move. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-07 14:49:01 (16 views)
    - One corner outfielder is not enough of a production boost - Shallow Hal 2011-11-08 11:02:12 (11 views)
  - Beltran would be enough - The Dude 2011-11-07 12:30:52 (20 views)
    - +1. Pray his knees are still good for at least two years. - juan 2011-11-07 14:51:49 (27 views)
    - Agreed - Hawk_941 2011-11-07 13:04:45 (25 views)
    - With Posey and F. Sanchez coming back. - starburst 2011-11-07 12:35:27 (16 views)
      - yes, of course.....they can't have two black holes in the lineup - The Dude 2011-11-07 12:36:23 (34 views)
- That means the only other place they could upgrade - The Lucky Cap 2011-11-07 11:55:50 (57 views)
  - I don't think Nate is the odd man out. One of those corner spots is his to lose. His hitting picked up considerably, and - starburst 2011-11-07 12:39:23 (25 views)
- sweet. i'm a fan of craw. the gianys season seemed to fall flat when they sent him down. - nuschler 2011-11-07 11:25:58 (47 views)
  - When Sanchez got hurt things really took a turn for the worse. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-07 15:14:20 (15 views)
  - +1 - loved his glove. Has a nice approach at the plate. - Toe-Knee Arm-Ass 2011-11-07 11:28:13 (48 views)
    - +1. It could be better than .250. BC is showing some speed and power in AFL, so could be a good gap hitter. - juan 2011-11-07 13:55:23 (14 views)

ANDREW BAGGARLY:....Giants trade Jonathan Sanchez to Kansas City for Melky Cabrera - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 11:11:28 (76 views)
- Get Beltran and a fifth starter and call it a day I guess - The Dude 2011-11-07 12:28:14 (29 views)

- Reminds me of a cheaper Rowand - Shallow Hal 2011-11-07 11:56:57 (47 views)
  - At least he has speed. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-07 15:07:27 (24 views)
    - Yeah. It'll be safe for the women and children to watch Giants baseball again. - starburst 2011-11-07 19:30:11 (9 views)
  - He's like Curt Flood, Paul Blair, or Jose Cardenal according to Baseball-Reference. - juan 2011-11-07 14:04:11 (37 views)
  - Don't see it - Bdogg 2011-11-07 13:53:17 (25 views)
  - One difference from Rowand. Rowand made his rep/had his good years in a hitter's park. - starburst 2011-11-07 12:18:38 (15 views)
    - 2nd difference is age. Cabrera just turned 27 in Aug - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-11-07 12:20:05 (19 views)
      - Rowand was 30 when he signed with the Giants, coming off a career year - Shallow Hal 2011-11-08 11:14:47 (9 views)

    - Not an upgrade defensively - Shallow Hal 2011-11-07 11:51:04 (38 views)

wonder if its worth kicking the tires on the Cuban defector/CF, Yoenis Cespedes? - Baby Giraffe 2011-11-07 07:03:37 (61 views)
