In the last few days, Sabes has dropped some hints that he might consider it if they drop completely out of the race over the next 2-3 weeks. He certainly made it clear he was not going to be buying unless they show signs of turning it around.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-24721120595782005282013-07-07T14:44:30.847-07:002013-07-07T14:44:30.847-07:00It seems like every year around this time I'm ...It seems like every year around this time I'm torn between whether I would like to see the Giants trade prospects to make a run or trade players for prospects and build for the future. Everyone loves to credit Billy Beane for the team he has today but half that team was acquired via trading good players like Gio, Street, and Cahill. I can't remember the last time the Giants were sellers at the trade deadline or quite frankly when the last time was that they had players to sell but I would almost like to see a few moves if for nothing else to shake things up.<br /><br />Affeldt has to have some value to a team looking to add a lefty arm in the pen. Scutaro could entice a few teams looking for some magic like last year even with 2 years left on his contract. I would even listen to offers on Romo or Lopez or anyone else in the pen depending on the offer and especially since we seem to have a lot of bullpen arms in waiting in the minors. I guess I would explore trading just about anyone other than Cain, Madbum, and Posey so maybe there is a taker for Pablo, Timmy, or not likely Zito! It wouldn't have to be a throw in the towel type of trade that dooms us for this year but rather a mix it up trade by making a move that lights a little fire under everyones asses while getting us something in return for the future. <br /><br />Pence would be a good one to trade just because his value might be the highest and we could always turn around and bring him back next year as a free agent if we wanted to. Timmy is another player that could entice a playoff team and could net us a few prospects in return. I would just like to see things mixed up one way or another since this team has gotten pretty stale and the injuries don't look like they are going to go away anytime soon. I don't care how hot they get over the next few weeks, without a shake up I just don't see them outlasting all the other teams in this division.

I would really like to see Perez back and in CF and Blanco in LF most days.

Go kick those tires, Sabean!<br /><br />Maybe this bat out of order thing is the final straw. Bochy got lucky that didn't cost. Also, Bumgarner had a very questionable 2-2 pitch go against, walked the guy, first batter out of the stretch is FedEx and he goes deep. End of the perfecto. <br /><br />Giants won because the Dodgers top of the order went 1 for 16. Good luck today Cajun Chad, we need something similar...Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-15906543602120068652013-07-07T09:14:22.947-07:002013-07-07T09:14:22.947-07:00Kershaw, Harvey, (Gee), Wheeler in the next 4 days...Kershaw, Harvey, (Gee), Wheeler in the next 4 days. The Giants need to solve the RISP blues. The big hit just will not come. They need big hits to happen in the worst way. 15 more left on base yesterday. Craw and Pablo 3 each. At least the Panda made a nice move gunning punk Hanley at the plate, that was the best thing he's done in a month. <br /><br />Hunter Pence needs to snap out of it. He could have broken the game open, he's been beyond rough, 4 for his last 37 is beyond poor. Sandoval is 3 for his last 37. Scutaro 6 for his last 34. Bacci's favorite Brandon 6 for 29. Craw 3 for his last 32. Blanco with that outburst is now 5 for his last 34. The much maligned Andres Torres made all his catches yesterday, and is 8 for his last 32. Wonderboy is 11 for his last 34.<br /><br />Never seen the Giants be this cold together. Well... There were some stretches in 08, 09, 10, 11... Why can't Sabean builllld an average offense!?! <br /><br />I'd roll the dice with Jeff Frenchman. Hope like hell for some mistakes jumped on for Dingerz, push Blanco back to a rest against lefties with some sort of rotation, putting Torres in CF then. Frenchman is now free, relatively, and used properly in a platoon, could help out. Or be cut easily if it don't work.<br /><br />Giants have to play mistake free baseball today, execute if they get a runner on base, and hope like hell against a guy who just crushes our spirit.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-56227907099358515322013-07-07T08:28:37.146-07:002013-07-07T08:28:37.146-07:00i thought timmy was going today as a result of the...i thought timmy was going today as a result of the rainout<br /><br />biggest story of the day...puig the unstoppable got his first golden sombrero. either the injury from hitting the wall is more severe than he or the bums is letting on, or the scouts have finally found his holes...i prefer to believe that its the latter....<br /><br />bums pretty much beat themselves with poor play and this does not bode well for the giants...they just cant hit with men on<br /><br />bacciAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
