Re: 2009 San Francisco Giants
He is really young it takes about 4 years to five years to learn how to pitch! He has nasty stuff. He will get it going!Comment

Re: 2009 San Francisco Giants
Really no need to start trading right now... I won't downplay the team, but unless its a Manny caliber bat.. a trade would probably hurt us more than it'd help us, specially since we'd be dealing away a pitcher. We all know what happened the LAST time we dealt for a bat while throwing away pitchers. Don't make the same mistake.I do because I can, I can because I want, I want because you say I can'tComment

Re: 2009 San Francisco Giants
Yes he IS!!! Don't feed the PANDA! I was a few rows back from where he hit that 3 run jack to win it. Lovin' what I'm seeing from this team so far.Comment

Re: 2009 San Francisco Giants
Bumgarner is NINETEEN and flat out dominating. Regardless of what he becomes, he does possess the upside potential that people dream of. He's a lefty as well.
Posey has also shown to be something special. Since he's a converted shortstop, he's still somewhat learning to be a backstop, but definitely on the fast track. Great athletic ability too.
Now as much as I'd like to see the Giants compete RIGHT NOW, which trading for a huge bat would do.. I don't want to go through that process of possibly competing now, but sacrificing the future for it either. We've all seen it happen, why would we do it again? If management wasn't willing to part with Lowry, Sanchez, or Cain.. no way they throw out Bumgarner. Thankfully.I do because I can, I can because I want, I want because you say I can'tComment

Re: 2009 San Francisco Giants
That's just silly talk man.. you're being sucked into the entire big name type of thing. Baseball is so much more than that, specially in a market like the Giants have. We definitely are the Yankees, so taking on contracts of 15m+ in place of guys that either havent reached the age of 20, or are just out of college... Think again.

Re: 2009 San Francisco Giants
Howard makes 18m/year
Neither would be traded anyhow, so it's out of the question. Bats that have been denied already include the likes of Rios and the possibilities of Holliday
This isn't the NBA. Tim Lincecum makes 650k. So guys that are coming up are a lot more valuable than ever, specially in a market such as this. The division is open to a certain extent, but the Dodgers are CLEARLY in a dominant position. Not to mention they're getting a huge burst come July.I do because I can, I can because I want, I want because you say I can'tComment

Re: 2009 San Francisco Giants
MAN after these past two games in SD we definitely needs some bats. Zito is finally pitching well and even pitched a complete game. The only mistakes were the two bombs he gave up. Then Sanchez had a good outing as well last night. Sooo frustrating to watch them when we are starting to pitch well and can't even produce any runs. Looks like the pitchers need to hit the batting cage and start manufacturing their own runs like Cain did the other day against the Mets.Comment

Re: 2009 San Francisco Giants
And there's all this talk about getting #4 hitters for $17.6 or $18.6 million more than what Bonds is asking?

Re: 2009 San Francisco Giants
Unfortunately I don't see that as an excuse. These men are being paid millions of dollars to make outs, and I don't mean offensively (which they do, as you have probably read my rant). If he can't get it done, we find somebody else that can. Where's Lowry, by the way?
And there's all this talk about getting #4 hitters for $17.6 or $18.6 million more than what Bonds is asking? Some loyal fans ya'll are!I know you love the man, but come on. The man is 40+ years old who can't even crack a minor league contract. SMH.
So let me ask this question to you Giants fans. When do you guys plan on taking advantage of the Mannyless Dodgers?XBL: DTX3

Re: 2009 San Francisco Giants
The only real problem is our biggest issues aren't our outfielders, but rather at 1st, 2nd and shortstop. Maybe he can play first? lol
And this would be a win-win-win. Even if he didn't perform, we wouldn't be in any more of a hole than we're in now. He would be extremely cheap (no loss) and we would start selling out again. Plus, Bonds is only 65 hits away from 3,000. Trust me... if he edged close enough during the final stretch of the season, he would push himself to play every day just to get it. He also wants that World Series ring. In short, he has motivation, and that's what we need.Last edited by Blzer; 05-21-2009, 01:47 PM.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment
