I think they could get a nice haul for those two. Maybe I'll write a separate post called Worst Case Scenario or something. <br /><br />One other combination of moves I'd make: Put Belt in LF full time and see if he can cut it out there. Move Posey to 1B full time. No point in getting him more beat up behind the plate if they are cashing in the season. Make Hector the full time catcher. If he doesn't show improvement in a month, bring up Monell and Williams and see what they can do.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-22696413176666408312013-07-06T10:11:28.744-07:002013-07-06T10:11:28.744-07:00The Cards were TEN games out at the end of August ...The Cards were TEN games out at the end of August in 2011.

The Giants have a good rep around baseball for treating guys right. Are they perfect? No. But they're way better about it than a wheeling dealing team like the Blue Jays.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-78999281525280421202013-07-06T09:19:17.386-07:002013-07-06T09:19:17.386-07:00I obviously want the Gmen to win.

The Giants wont want to that to a guy who had much to do in both WS titles, IMO.<br /><br />Hadn't realize that we are now top 10 in the draft, that might be a positive. Looking at it 2014 draft looks much better than 2013.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-77380015302926571542013-07-06T08:54:41.217-07:002013-07-06T08:54:41.217-07:00This time it may not happen.

That is insane. The equivalent in the Gints system is Panik and Mejia. For a 2 month rental. <br /><br />I think its time to let Agent Ned win that Nolasco bidding war. The Gints are offering 2 prospects and part of the money to the Bums all the moneys and one pitching prospect. <br /><br />On Blanco, he isn't a full time player. He needs time off against lefties. So the Pagan injury forces him into a role that he isn't meant to play. He is still a top 40 OF by WAR value, although a lot of that is defense related. But with him in CF, then LF becomes a big issue if its the punch (less) and Judy show out there.<br /><br />The big injury is Pablo. Complete lack of professional preparation for the season. Telling the beats "he'll be in shape in 2 years". He is pulling a Johnny Sanchez here, we'll see what goes on, but his trade value is diminished, and there is no way the Gigantes will offer any more long term value for him.<br /><br />The Gints might indeed be heading for top 10 territory! Wow, what a shame. But that's baseball.<br /><br />2013 FAs: Javy Lopez, do you deal him to get something? I'm sure Sabean would prefer to lock him to another 2 year deal.<br /><br />Hunter Pence? I think its a slam dunk Qualifying Offer, but do you deal him - a top 20 OF WILL get something of value, but its most likely a back of the BA100 guy. I think Sabean would prefer to lock him to a 4 year deal.<br /><br />Timmy? Ho ho ho, that's a can of worms.<br /><br />Pablo maybe the best trade chip.<br /><br />If the Giants offer qualifying to Timmy/Pence they could be looking at 3 draft picks. Then again, Angel Pagan, and they never really want to stock up. We were sure they were getting picks for Melky and Angel, look how that turned out.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-77708803808382185302013-07-06T08:30:32.903-07:002013-07-06T08:30:32.903-07:00At the rate they are going, the Giants might have ...At the rate they are going, the Giants might have a protected first round draft pick next year! One guy who has a couple of years on his contract who the GIants might be able to trade for is Bud Norris of the 'Stros. Not sure if they have the firepower in prospects to get a deal done, but that is the type of player they might want to try to acquire at the deadline, not for this year, but the next couple of years.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-51900508409568939042013-07-06T07:30:44.931-07:002013-07-06T07:30:44.931-07:00Agree.

No point in acquiring a Nolasco or Garza, which you could get in free agency (of course if the dodgers get Nolasco he probably wont be a free agent). The Giants will still lose their 1st round pick but am not sure if a 1st rounder would have the same value as a Blackburn, so better keep the guys in the minors that are already performing and give up a draft pick.<br /><br />I dont even think 2 players might do it. If you look at the pitching they are holes every where, in the starting rotation and the bullpen. Cain hasn't pitch good this year every once in a while hes getting licked and has about 5-6 really bad starts this year (should the Giants be concerned about that contract? ), we all know what Lincecum is right now and Zito as well. The only guy I sincerely trust is Bumgarner.<br /><br />My theory for the batting being so bad is that a bunch of guys (Crawford, Blanco and Scutaro) were playing over their head. Scutaro is a good 2B but is not like hes going to bat .320 all year at age 37 when he hasnt done that his whole life, so he was due to regress add that to injuries and its not pretty. Blanco started the same way last year and ended up in the .240s, not really a good hitter, him and Torres. Not sure what the Giants org were thinking in putting these 2 guys as starters in LF. <br /><br />Crawford is a guy whos had an iffy track record, so its not surprising to see him get back in the .240-.250s but I also wont be surprise if this is a major slump and he puts that avg in the .270-.280s, but right now hes hurting the team. <br /><br />That said, you have 3 hitters who were extremely hot to start the season and now all have cooled off, add Pagan, Sandoval, Pence and even Belt (his name never shows up in the scorecard) and you think, Can you really blame Bochy for the Giants hitting woes as well as the pitching woes??<br /><br />I've always thought that its more about the personnel than the coaches.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
