        That's where I'm at. Sabean went out and got the best hitter available to give the team a shot. But he's not who I want to bet the bank on. - starburst 2011-12-24 10:29:24 (14 views)

        I'm sure he respects the Giants organization but he made it clear what his issues are - tajackamo 2011-12-23 17:13:13 (18 views)
        
        That's a good answer, the Giants do not get any comp pick, and we spent a high pitching prospect on a rental. - juan 2011-12-23 10:37:31 (15 views)

      - @gwarriors. That doesn't fly. The Giants payroll is 5th highest in baseball and that doesn't include the $20Million a year - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-12-22 20:47:56 (90 views)
        
        Aww, you are bringing facts into it. - Earl j. Slick 2011-12-23 09:09:24 (15 views)
        
        x2 Beltran was asking for a much bigger deal. That wasn't happening so his price dropped. They need to focus on Lincecum and Cain. When Zito and Rowand are off the books they will spend more on free agents, - starburst 2011-12-23 07:54:11 (21 views)
        
        ftr, this is exactly what I was saying would happen when they spent like $10 a year on relievers - shikantaza 2011-12-23 07:56:38 (7 views)
        
        Larry Ellison would have made us choose between Fonts and Kepp? - shikantaza 2011-12-23 07:54:04 (23 views)
        
        The left-handed relievers they signed have more impact on the team than Fonts and Kepp. Ellison would have scoffed at either of them. They aren't exactly elite players. They're guys every team, even big spenders, have on the roster. So they chose. So what? - starburst 2011-12-23 10:14:06 (7 views)
        
        If they had passed on the relievers, I wouldn't have wanted that money to go to Kepp... - shikantaza 2011-12-23 10:25:49 (16 views)
        
        good riddance..he doesn't hustle, wouldn't play left even though nate's much better in right, and is hurt every other day..spend the $$ on our pitchers..we'll be fine - skontch 2011-12-22 21:50:10 (16 views)
        
        our offense has been worst or near worst in the league almost every year except 2010 - shikantaza 2011-12-23 07:55:34 (20 views)
        
        My beef is not with the 130$$ payroll, its spending 10 on Lefty relievers when you need a 3,4,5 hitter - MoonMan 2011-12-23 08:13:22 (21 views)
        
        They need the relievers. If it was $7M you still don't get a hitter. - Earl j. Slick 2011-12-23 09:12:32 (20 views)
        
        They need offense badly... "the team is built around pitching" sounds good - shikantaza 2011-12-23 09:28:28 (20 views)
        
        It won a world series. They aren't going to "buy" a major bat until the mistakes of the previous managing partner are off the books. - starburst 2011-12-23 10:07:21 (14 views)
        
        Beltran was a major bat they could have bought for a very reasonable sum... not much more than they paid Huff actually - shikantaza 2011-12-23 10:22:38 (21 views)
        
        There is no way of knowing that Beltran would take the same deal to play here. And I disagree that it was luck. It was the approach - starburst 2011-12-23 18:08:48 (15 views)
        
        If they could have dumped Sanchez for prospects, that's another 5 mill or so - MoonMan 2011-12-23 09:25:32 (31 views)
        
        how about 600,000 for whiteside...talk about a total waste of money.. - holymoly 2011-12-23 20:56:30 (10 views)
        
        The money isn't guaranteed and the Giants starters want him as the catcher - Calvin and Hobbs 2011-12-24 08:36:05 (11 views)
        
        Yeah. If he is in the minors, it's $175,000 and insurance in case they need a catcher who - starburst 2011-12-24 10:30:42 (13 views)
