How long before Crawford gets really expensive? Do you really want to pay that much for him? How much would be bring back in a trade? How much might Adrianza, Kelby or Moreno bring in trade?

As time goes on, he will have more bad games and less good ones. There is no mechanical fix, not magic from dad. It's father time taking it's toll. I think we all knew from the beginning that with is body type and delivery, Timmy was likely to not have one of the longer careers in the history of starting pitching.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-37349046918169615882015-06-24T12:04:02.874-07:002015-06-24T12:04:02.874-07:00If it weren't for the fact we're down to t...If it weren't for the fact we're down to three healthy OFers, I'd be up for bringing Tomlinson up while Aoki is on the DL.

I guess the best play would be to bring back Parker back. Or just take a flyer and Williamson or Beltre a shot?

With Duffy, Crawford and Panik, doesn't seem like there is much room other than for a super utility guy (Can Kelby play 3b so he could back up all three)? Great to see Mejia in good form; we need him for next year to round out the staff with Bumgarner, Presto and (hopefully) Cain. That would be a big shot in the arm and take pressure off the need for a 5th guy. <br /><br />PiLamBearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-49122066169762540612015-06-24T09:08:18.500-07:002015-06-24T09:08:18.500-07:00Do you think Tomlinson and Moreno's futures ar...Do you think Tomlinson and Moreno's futures are necessarily with the Giants since there seems to be such an overstock of MIs? I'm not sure when the trade deadline is, but do you think either of them would be good trade material for say, another quality SP for the big club? Tomlinson especially appears to be ready to make that jump to the majors as a utility MI. I'd like to see him get some innings at 3B. And quite honestly, from the looks of Arias' stats, Tomlinson could do much better. He could certainly do no worse. I know there would be some who would call for Adrianza, or maybe Frandsen, before Tomlinson, but I would cast my vote for Kelby.<br /><br />As for Beltre, he took over CF upon his arrival in RVA and has done a stellar job! It will be interesting to see how he progresses through the season. He's been pretty injury prone to this point in his career, but if he can stay healthy, he's going to be a contributor beyond AA for sure!Nutz4RVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997800352962687317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-50334027461918805062015-06-24T08:19:54.324-07:002015-06-24T08:19:54.324-07:00Doc, I know this may be a leap of faith; how about...Doc, I know this may be a leap of faith; how about doing a Panik and Duffy this year and calling Mac W up from Richmond.!!
