    You can't just sign guys, they have to agree. No one jumps on board with a 106 loss team to likely have to move their family mid-season.

    After watching playoffs thus far its a reminder how critical pitching is and how far away our collection of arms are. The Giants have Conor Gillespie at 3rd. Plug and play accordingly after you figure out pitching.

    6 quality starts for Gibson. .296 baa. Joe Mays.

    Trevor May bullpen vs. starting is catching up to Joe Mauer as far as posts on this site.

    I think Miami or Texas are the only logical teams to consider it. Miami because he lives there or something and he can team with Bonds and they can update each other on current untraceable juices. Texas because he played there once and Fielder retired I guess and I think he would really annoy Adrian Beltre.

    I think this is more of an issue if we don't have options. Let Rosario, Kepler and Grossman play until they stop hitting. Maybe try Polanco in left for a few games. Let some competition drive some development.

    Should be fun to watch Nunez in October. Good for him and good return.

    I'm excited to read the Robbie Grossman chapter

    I'm sure decrease in revenue will prompt reduction in payroll. I think that's just a business perspective. Santana won't make any more difference next year than he did this year.
  10. lukeduke1980
    Wasn't there an MLBTradeRumor about wanting to dump most of Santana's contract? That seems like more of an ownership directive

    Looking forward to Giancarlo versus Pat "Regression to the (Twins) Mean" Dean.

    Expect it.

    I think a GM has to stand behind his plan, which in this case was rebuilding/developing talent. But also hold your staff accountable at all levels for production and be able to improvise when results aren't happening. Multiple years we've heard of the fantastic MN farm system, yet all there seems to be is raw talent of Buxtons and Rosarios and Berrios, etc. Many have come up the the majors only to seem over-matched and un-prepared. If there is such dependency on the young talent, with a sprinkling of Plouffes and Suzukis, then the GM should have a plan for development of key pieces and contingencies upon their likelihood of talent advancement.

    TR can start making trades...
  15. lukeduke1980
    So who has innings 3-8 tomorrow? Tonkin and Kintzler?
  16. lukeduke1980
    I agree with the sentiment, but when have we ever taken a failed staring pitcher and made something out of him by tweaking his delivery or teaching him a new pitch? That one time with Carl Pavano? The year when Phil Hughes was magically throwing 94? I say don't trade anyone if it's the same guy making the trades.

    This is what I was thinking- the next level of losing --double blown saves
  18. lukeduke1980
    Every single game
  19. lukeduke1980
    I think the Dozier 3 Plouffe 4 is a directive from TR to make sure they are in a position to get the token RBI groundouts to build their trade value
  20. lukeduke1980
    Yes I'm waiting for Hughes' 'shoulder strain' to be announced any day
  21. lukeduke1980
    I enjoy this report. I think a lot of the unsuccessful outings were critical and led directly to losses - May's spiked curveballs and Pressly's home run stand out to me beside Jepsen.
  22. lukeduke1980
    Maybe we're going to trade for another catcher. AJ? How low can JRM's batting avg get?
  23. lukeduke1980
    Actually Milone might be a good bullpen addition given his BAA disparity on 1st time through lineup against 2nd/3rd times
  24. lukeduke1980
    I am Gyung Ho for Byung...Ho
  25. lukeduke1980
