    Agreed. Sano looks like the bad Sano of 2016. Pitch guessing and wrong every time lately. Last night was exhibit A of why we need a starter along with 2 high leverage BP arms to make a deep run this year. Gibson still has one of those starts too often. We don't want a start like that in the playoffs. Not sure what the Sano solution is? Arraez and Austidillo are both great contact, great energy guys - I do wish we had room for them both. In this line up - we could use another contact/energy guy at 3B if Miguel is going to K 9 out of every 11 AB's and boot grounders. I like Sano, but he is no better today than 3 years ago. Identifying pitches, plate discipline - yuck. Hard to watch. Everyone else from his "class" - Jorge, Jose, Rosy, Max, Bux, Garv - all vastly improved in the last 3 years. Sano, nope. Same.

    Good comment here. The Giants are the trade partner I think - The conversation starts with MadBum - and ends with a blockbuster Smith/Watson/MadBum 3 fer. 2 more high lev power lefty's in the pen and a world series veteran. MadBum in the locker room is a big deal - and puts a Pineda high lev power righty in the pen. SF is starved for prospects - any and all prospects. Watson will cost the most - but it could be a numbers game in that SF needs quality bodies - we have alot of good young bodies that will be hitting rule 5 protection this winter. Our window for a world series run is so wide open you could drive a semi through it - unload the prospect vault - this is the team we've been waiting for.

    I like Big Mike. He keeps getting better. I believe this will prove to be a good signing even if he ends up being our 8th inning guy in October. Perez same - except he isn't getting better right now. For us to end up playing in October, I see both these guys in the pen. Last nights game was playoff baseball and in playoff baseball, pitching beats hitting. We need reinforcements and everyone knows it.

    It will be interesting to see what we decide to do. All in - give up some high upside talent - or dip our toes in - and give up no one we will miss? Go bold or hedge your bets? Also be interesting to see how long we wait? Something cooking in the next couple weeks - or do we wait until midnight 7/31? We'll get a real window into the minds of our new leadership on this one. Our line up 1-9 is a world series contender. I see no reason to mess around the edges here. Get us 2 stoppers and give up whichever prospects necessary. We can win it this year with a 2015 Royals type BP.

    Bingo. You can place most of the blame for our fan angst on Terry Ryan. Sano batting 3rd 2 years ago and having our entire future placed on his shoulders was all on the front office. Throwing sand in our eyes as we struggled to watch the 2011-2015 years. Then Ryan decides to make him a RF'er - are you joking? In todays lineup, playing a competent 3B & batting 7th - Sano fits nicely.

    Ok - got me. I'd make that trade. You never know - Nationals fall off the deep end and start ditching contracts and wanting young talent? I just see Lewis in the starting 9 for our 2020 run. (although he is off to a rough start this year) Doubt we resign Schoop with all the young middle infielders we are stocking up on, & his price tag given what looks like a major comeback year will be large.

    I'd like to see who may be on the block 1 month from now - If we can maintain a nice lead over Cle and keep scoring - this years window for a WS run is wide open. Rather than MadBum - lets look for a Houston type manuever when they landed Verlander, and try swinging for the fences. Maybe take on an ace - and take on the last couple years of big money? Scherzer/Grienke type deal. Our 1-9 can hit us all the way to the promise land - but we are an ace and a closer away from being able to pitch that far this year - maybe 2 closers? My thoughts are to be willing to trade any prospects away that we don't think help us in the next 2 years as we go for back to back championships in '19/'20. Lewis and Graterol are the only untouchables for me.
