Going into spring training, what players are on the bubble? - lebron'sbaby 2012-02-01 16:13:43 (12 views)
- Belt, Pill, Burriss, Runzler, Hector Sanchez, Stewart - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-02-01 17:11:48 (89 views)
  - Had enough of Whiteside. Just use Stewart if Sanchez isn't ready - heathramos 2012-02-02 08:53:20 (3 views)
  - I would add Gillaspie too, albeit more of a long shot. - overkirilenko! 2012-02-01 22:44:38 (6 views)
    - I'm pretty sure that toward the end of last year the beat writers reported that Bochy thinks Gillaspie is ready to play in SF - starburst 2012-02-02 07:49:49 (6 views)
      - I think he did say that but I just don't see him making the team - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-02-02 10:39:57 (11 views)
        
        agreed, I don't think he adds enough - microwave donut 2012-02-03 10:35:01 (5 views)
        
        I believe he's actually out of options if he doesn't make the 25-man out of camp - JoeDaddy 2012-02-02 18:42:14 (17 views)
        
        Depending no Theirot's ability at SS, it may come down to Fontenot and Gillaspie as we are limited with back-up 3B. - overkirilenko! 2012-02-02 12:14:23 (5 views)

before I stress too much about who is and who isn't on this year's team... - Baby Giraffe 2012-02-01 08:36:08 (131 views)
- I really like this team (a lot more than 2011) - dontstopbelievin 2012-02-01 08:58:45 (121 views)
  - Good points. I still think that we need to acquire another middle of the order bat to be a contender. - overkirilenko! 2012-02-01 17:33:07 (88 views)

Keppinger to earn $1,525,000 in contract with Rays...Giants couldn't afford that? - camtankerous! 2012-01-31 14:08:51 (39 views)
- For all his flaws, I really liked Kepp. He was exactly what we needed last season, but, as others have said, Theriot is better for us now. - sbgiants 2012-02-01 15:42:33 (6 views)

  - This.....Theriot could be a spot starter when needed. - dontstopbelievin 2012-01-31 15:46:26 (93 views)
- The Giants would have had to pay him around $2.7 million - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-31 14:19:13 (100 views)
  - No other teams were that interested in Kepperinger or he would have signed for more than 1.5 million - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-31 14:24:07 (14 views)
    - Players like that will be available at the deadline. And we'll know better what we need at that point. - #28 Buster Posey 2012-01-31 14:52:19 (5 views)

Optimistic on Lineup - Al Attles' Soul Train 2012-01-31 09:18:57 (123 views)
- If that happens let me in on theriot in the streets! Its possible. And with our rotation we'd win 100. - #28 Buster Posey 2012-01-31 13:30:51 (12 views)

ESPN: D-Backs over the Giants despite awesome pitching and bullpen depth. - juan 2012-01-30 16:45:53 (228 views)
- They should be favored. Comparable pitching, superior hitting, and they were top dogs in 2011. - sbgiants 2012-01-30 23:23:15 (29 views)
- giants offense is horrid - fatal 2012-01-30 20:14:30 (47 views)
  - This offense will be average IMO which will be a huge upgrade over last year. - MoonMan 2012-01-31 11:21:17 (11 views)
    - agreed - Ghost Dog 2012-02-01 07:40:26 (2 views)

  - Fatal... before you cry poor... take a closer look at last year's stats vs Az - Baby Giraffe 2012-01-30 21:08:00 (46 views)
    - i bet u have the stats for the whole season - fatal 2012-01-30 23:12:03 (30 views)
      - let's see if AZ ponies up for the money for these guys moving forward. They had to give Montero $6M today. Upton will cost them a small fortune in 2013 - Baby Giraffe 2012-01-31 09:14:46 (8 views)
        
        upton is signed thru 2015 - microwave donut 2012-01-31 09:45:03 (6 views)
        
        thanks for the 411, sir. - Baby Giraffe 2012-01-31 11:32:03 (3 views)
        
        p.s. did you really expect to win without Freddy and Buster? I didn't. - Baby Giraffe 2012-01-31 09:16:43 (3 views)
- Good. National media, just keep thinking those thoughts. - starburst 2012-01-30 19:07:45 (14 views)
  - Everyone picked the Giants last year despite their offense - Hoser 2012-01-30 22:54:45 (25 views)
    - Their offense when people were making picks was quite different - Earl j. Slick 2012-01-31 11:05:07 (11 views)
  - Agreed! Always best to be the underdog. - hozer 2012-01-30 19:18:40 (4 views)
  - Montero and Posey are two of the best catchers in the Majors. Wasn't Posey on a 15 game hit streak before his injury? I <3 you posey!! - Method 2012-01-30 19:11:25 (8 views)
    - 13 game hit streak - DJ 2012-01-31 12:36:47 (3 views)

who is going to replace ramirez in the bullpen? still not sold on runzler unless he can control his wildness - lebron'sbaby 2012-01-29 18:41:06 (16 views)
- Seems like every ST there is a surprise arm that comes to the surface (see Vogelsong). Beyong Hensley, who is this year's sleeper? - overkirilenko! 2012-01-30 12:44:37 (7 views)
  - Keith Law names RP Heath Hembree Giants sleeper prospect - Baby Giraffe 2012-01-30 13:22:10 (50 views)
    - Can't wait to see Hembree in ST--eventual closer should Weez fade.. - Ghost Dog 2012-02-01 07:27:58 (5 views)
    - Good call. - overkirilenko! 2012-01-30 22:57:36 (3 views)
    - Lopez/Hembree/Romo/Wilson? That's naaaasty - dontstopbelievin 2012-01-30 14:54:27 (5 views)
- Clay Hensley.......I agree 100% about Runzler. - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-29 18:50:02 (16 views)
  - Note: Bochy has some history with Hensley from SD days. - overkirilenko! 2012-01-30 12:26:25 (5 views)
  - Judging by how much they paid Lopez and Affeldt, the G's don't think much of Runzler either. - sbgiants 2012-01-30 00:51:43 (8 views)
    - He's proven nothing. Lopez and Affeldt have proven themselves. - Earl j. Slick 2012-01-30 13:06:40 (24 views)

take a look at micah owing??? - lebron'sbaby 2012-01-29 18:13:06 (67 views)
- he's a better hitter than pitcher - microwave donut 2012-01-30 16:35:59 (3 views)
- i think you're under selling moto..he's done a pretty good job for us..plus, if we need a pitcher to give us a quality at bat, we can always use casilla.. - skontch 2012-01-30 05:24:47 (12 views)
  - I'm confident Casilla can win the 1B job over Huff, Belt, and Pill - tajackamo 2012-01-30 14:58:20 (7 views)
  - This. Nothing wrong with Mota as the long reliever. - sbgiants 2012-01-30 13:24:23 (3 views)
  - Lol. Agree on Mota, and a Casilla ab is a thing of beauty. - starburst 2012-01-30 12:37:05 (3 views)

- Thanks for posting. Easy to root for a guy like that. - overkirilenko! 2012-01-30 09:50:23 (5 views)
- Great stuff. He sounds like a smart, hardworking, talented guy. - starburst 2012-01-29 10:06:07 (4 views)

Hot Stove Saturday at noon @95.7fm the game w/ Giants GM Sabean, and Sergio Romo. Call at 888-957-9570 - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-28 11:54:51 (48 views)
- Sabes hot stove replay.... - camtankerous! 2012-01-28 22:13:31 (38 views)
  - Trying to "read btwn the lines" as I listen to the interview. Sounds like they are serious about Belt at 1B. Sabes preference. - overkirilenko! 2012-01-30 12:24:39 (4 views)

2013--The Kids: The FREAK, MadBum, The Natural, The Beard, The Big Pharmaceutical, The Panda, Giraffe and Shotgun! - Ghost Dog 2012-01-28 08:50:06 (135 views)
- That would be amazing to see happen. Best part: Zito's last year of contract (don't mean to be a hater, but...) - overkirilenko! 2012-01-30 12:41:51 (7 views)
  - agreed - Ghost Dog 2012-02-03 06:13:56 (2 views)
- it's so odd to see a giants lineup with 90% players from their system. - Monte Irvin 2012-01-28 09:23:13 (10 views)
  - WOOT!! - Ghost Dog 2012-01-28 09:24:20 (6 views)

Schulman tweet: Next name to watch for Giants: Xavier Nady. There's some mutual interest, but almost certainly on a minor-league deal + invite. - Baby Giraffe 2012-01-27 12:50:08 (62 views)
- Meh. He's in a steady decline, and is bad in the outfield. - Hawk_941 2012-01-27 15:46:01 (115 views)
  - +1 - Ghost Dog 2012-01-28 08:58:00 (4 views)
- Nice - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-27 13:14:07 (21 views)

Okay, so this is what we have now for position players... - Hawk_941 2012-01-27 10:20:42 (152 views)
- My take. Minor tweaks. - overkirilenko! 2012-01-30 12:07:38 (10 views)
- I'm not sold on Schierholtz. Think he's more the fan favorite. I think Belt will be in (the extra work will pay off) and hope Pill stays. - juan 2012-01-29 02:44:04 (27 views)
- Hoping they finally dump Stewart and Whiteside, as H Sanchez is better all around.. - Ghost Dog 2012-01-28 08:31:22 (14 views)
- I'm going to be sad if Belt doesn't get 500 major league AB's this year - microwave donut 2012-01-27 16:34:33 (72 views)
  - I think Schierholtz turned the corner last year. - Hawk_941 2012-01-29 00:42:28 (22 views)
    - I like his defense but Schierholtz just doesn't hit enough for a corner OF on a team that struggles to score runs - microwave donut 2012-01-30 16:24:27 (11 views)
    - +1 on all that - tajackamo 2012-01-29 03:01:06 (18 views)
      - The thing about Schierholtz is that he adjusted his stance and it worked. Then, pitchers changed how they pitched to him. And he adjusted again. Good stuff. I hope this carries over. Because he needs to be in RF for us. - starburst 2012-01-29 09:35:35 (5 views)
        
        Schierholtz plays AT&T's RF as well as Andy Lee punts - tajackamo 2012-01-29 20:03:28 (9 views)
        
        I compare it to the way JT played 1B. - overkirilenko! 2012-02-02 12:17:20 (2 views)
  - Pill has more upside than Belt IMO--at the plate.. - Ghost Dog 2012-01-28 08:56:52 (27 views)
  - agreed, but they're not going to give huff 12 mil to warm the bench. he will - skontch 2012-01-28 07:17:35 (34 views)
    - I don't see the power, 18 in over 1000 ML AB's - microwave donut 2012-01-30 16:35:18 (6 views)
    - I think Belt will start at first if he hits. - Earl j. Slick 2012-01-30 13:10:12 (9 views)

Theriot....I like it, I like it a lot - MoonMan 2012-01-27 09:28:59 (374 views)
- Overall +. Got bat to replace Keppinger. Could be better than Kepp. Theriot's big neg is he sucks on defense. - juan 2012-01-28 09:12:07 (19 views)
  - good at 2B but not enough range at SS--big picture--> insurance for Franchez - Ghost Dog 2012-01-28 09:23:33 (7 views)
- Quality super sub..Definitely prefer The Riot over Burriss! - Ghost Dog 2012-01-28 08:59:04 (6 views)
- I'm surprised no one is upset that this potentially relegates Crawford to a defensive specialist role, let alone taking his starting SS job - tajackamo 2012-01-27 20:01:09 (9 views)
  - Henry Schulman: Just talked to Bochy, who confirms he views Crawford as the starting SS. Theriot would start v some lefties. Craw was 4-for-30 v LHP as rook - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-27 20:07:29 (9 views)
    - Squints will get his reps for sure but unlike Fontenot, Theriot is a legitimate candidate to take the position outright - tajackamo 2012-01-28 02:37:06 (16 views)
      - I don't think Theriot is a threat to replace Crawford at short, his glove isn't there. But he's an upgrade over Keppinger in that he can play both 2nd and short. - starburst 2012-01-28 10:14:09 (12 views)
        
        Definitely agree but defensive shortcomings hasn't stopped Bochy from leaning toward the better bat - tajackamo 2012-01-28 14:08:29 (11 views)
        
        agreed, but if crawford doesn't hit he'll sit - DJ 2012-01-28 17:06:13 (13 views)
        
        Unless the rest of the lineup is hitting. Crawford has also shown that he can draw walks. His glove is so good, that - starburst 2012-01-29 09:37:52 (7 views)
        
        i'm certainly not banking on the rest of the lineup - DJ 2012-01-29 17:23:18 (7 views)
        
        +1, agree on all points - Ghost Dog 2012-01-28 11:46:31 (6 views)
- Nice addition - Bdogg 2012-01-27 18:54:32 (6 views)
- solid signing, Freddy sanchez getting hurt is inevitable - DJ 2012-01-27 12:34:34 (52 views)
- I guess "a lot" is a bit of an overstatement but less Burris the better IMO, - MoonMan 2012-01-27 09:37:17 (120 views)
  - Fontenot at 2B, too. He and Theriot played together. I'm not sure about putting them out there late in close games though. - juan 2012-01-28 09:13:29 (6 views)
  - his glove plays fine at 2B - microwave donut 2012-01-27 10:36:59 (50 views)
- Very Nice. - starburst 2012-01-27 09:36:37 (14 views)
  - I like the signing - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-27 10:03:37 (10 views)

Huff on KNBR: "I'm coming in hungry, dedicated. If these kids (Belt/Pill) want my job, they're going to have to come in and take it from me." - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-27 05:23:06 (112 views)
- LOL at "take it from me" -he was the worst player in the league, he gave it away... - MoonMan 2012-01-27 16:07:59 (19 views)
- L.O.L. At the daily LOL, lol. Thanks for that. Re Huff. Best case scenario - - starburst 2012-01-27 07:55:30 (64 views)
  - Lawlz - overkirilenko! 2012-01-27 09:45:39 (6 views)
  - I thought "L.O.L. At the daily LOL, lol" was referring to Huff. - juan 2012-01-27 08:54:04 (72 views)
    - Huff, too. Except that he usually puts up good numbers after an off year, and it's a contract year. This Cal & Hobbes strip is hilarious. - starburst 2012-01-27 09:14:41 (12 views)

- If he can get back to 2010 numbers, then we can deal someone. - juan 2012-01-27 22:57:02 (10 views)
- Good stuff. - starburst 2012-01-26 21:03:26 (11 views)
- I like the signing. His contract is nonguaranteed. He has to a win a job in spring training. - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-01-26 18:08:00 (72 views)
  - Yeah, and they could possibly use him in long relief. Could he be an emergency starter, do you think? - starburst 2012-01-27 07:56:37 (8 views)
    - Hensley signing basically means that - Hawk_941 2012-01-27 08:32:52 (33 views)
  - he's had some good years. Ramirez replacement. - Baby Giraffe 2012-01-26 18:14:22 (12 views)

  - Yeah, him and Kershaw. I doubt it was Victor Martinez (injury) since he's old, but who knows. It looks like the Tigers got yanked around and bid high. - juan 2012-01-26 17:46:23 (12 views)
