But that is Sabean's speciality, get all these unwanted players and so called scrubs and hope to hit the lottery. He did it with Burell while he was hitting .120 with the Rays, he did it with Torres who was a career minor leaguer player with a .220 MLB average exactly what he has shown the past three years, he did it with Huff who Detroit had released and even Vogey who has a career era of over 5 as well and so on. Thats why the Giants are the way they are now. You can hit the lotto every year. Fire Sabean. Bring in Theo and Hoyer and Sandberg with them too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-43449289332367502712013-09-02T10:58:29.923-07:002013-09-02T10:58:29.923-07:00The ultimate arbiter, reality, is showing the Gian...The ultimate arbiter, reality, is showing the Giants made the right decision to go with Hector over Whiteside and Stewart. It's now the time to observe the pseudo-analysts rationalizing away their flawed judgements, or, for some, ignoring the whole thing, or for a smaller few, never allowing reality to cloud their original judgement. Nevertheless, put this one in Sabean's/Bochy's corner.<br /><br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-35884410285805564402013-09-02T10:50:54.212-07:002013-09-02T10:50:54.212-07:00I'll add to that, ogc.

Makes rotation interesting next season with probably Madison, Cainer, Vogie, then Gaudin, Petit, Moscoso, maybe Kickham and Surkamp and Escobar, battling for last two spots. And if Lincecum resigns, does Gaudin even want to return as he might not get a spot guaranteed?obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-89101515028788120862013-09-02T06:44:27.216-07:002013-09-02T06:44:27.216-07:00Watching yesterday's game there were several t...Watching yesterday's game there were several times, i noticed Bochy and Posey in eye to eye conversations.
