An Idea: Cain for Prince and Sanchez for Phillips?

Hey fellas,

Long-time lurker, first-time thread starter.

 

My basic thought is this: The Giants have done a fantastic job in the last few years of drafting pitching, and now is actually a surprisingly good time to move some of that for hitting that has some long-term potential and fit.

Star-divide

In terms of direction, there are a few things worth considering:

1. Catcher is taken care of, whether it's Buster or Sandoval (Buster, in all likelyhood)

2. One of the middle IF slots can go to whichever of the pups works out best of Burriss, Velez, and maybe Fransden.

3. Like it or not, Rowand has an OF spot locked up.

4. We need to fit Sandoval and Villalona in the long-term plans for the team.

5. I like Fred Lewis as a player on this team long-term

To me, this opens up two nice potential slots: 2B/SS and 1B/3B.
Intuitively, it would be better for our Giants to get a SS, but they simply don't come onto the market that often. As such, we can hope that Manny works as the SS for the next few years and get a 2B with my favorite target (by far) being Brandon Phillips. He is the type of guy that would help generate runs in a variety of ways, which is incredibly helpful for a team like the Giants. Despite having an off year, he was still in the top third of 2B's offensively and had the third-most steals. It is also nice that he has played 140+ games each of the three years he has played at his current level.

With the Reds' current situation, some combination centering on Mr. Sanchez could probably get the job done, and I think it would be 100% worth it for Phillips.

 

The second major challenge is to finally get a true cleanup hitter. While it would be nice to see a young'n take the spot, those guys are just too hard to find and the team cannot afford to wait around or overpay horrifically in the FA market for one. Prince Fielder has his issues, but he would be an amazing fit for the center of the Giants' order. Much has been made about how it would be best for the Giants' key power guy to be right-handed, and I agree that it could help, but I have zero doubt that Prince could hit it out into the Cove. What's more, he would become an instant fan favorite and let him forge a new identity (plus, the Bay Area is a great place to raise his kids).

Losing Cain in this trade would hurt, but the benefit of solidifying the order with a long-term fan favorite and big producer who plays every day makes the trade completely worthwhile.

 

Here's how I see that team shaking out over the next few years:
Position Players
1. Fred Lewis, LF
2. Brandon Phillips, 2B
3. Buster Posey, C
4. Prince Fielder, 1B
5. Angel Villalona, 3B
6. Aaron Rowand, CF
7. Nate Schierholtz, RF
8. Emmanuel Burriss, SS
Key bench guys: Pedro Sandoval (plays C for Posey, 1B for Prince, and 3B for Angel- lots of playing time), Connor Gillaspie, and Brandon Crawford (I love the kid)

Starting Rotation
The Franchise
Bridges of Madison Bumgarner
Tim Alderson
Zito
Henry Sosa (or one of the other pups)

Bullpen- Who knows by then, but there would be money to sink into it

What people are trying to tell you, in their typically gentle way, is that we’re so sick of imaginary Matt Cain trade proposals that we just can’t stand it any more. Cain for Fielder in particular has been bruited about again and again and again.

Personally, I’m pretty sick of Sanchez trade proposals too. I like Sanchez.

Fielding the Fill Ups

Prince for Cain sounds nice if the Brewers would be willing to make the exchange, but would the Reds trade Phillips for Sanchez? And, yes, I realize you did mention a package, which might make it more likely.

On the other hand, Brandon’s hitting has been ordinary outside his home park. I don’t think I would make the latter deal given Jonathan’s high ceiling.

fix:
Prince for Cain sounds nice if the Brewers would be willing to make the exchange add in some top prospects as well, because in a situation like the Giants are in, where above average talent is a rare commodity, trading one established major leaguer for one established major leaguer – thus strengthening one position on your club by weakening another creating a zero gain – does not improve this team. At all.

If

If the Giants traded both Cain and Sanchez, they wouldn’t have much of a rotation, but starting pitching is their best strength among their young minor leaguers. Meanwhile guys like Correia, Hennessey and Misch could fill in.

by sharksrog on Oct 2, 2008 4:38 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Guys like Correia, Hennessey, and Misch were utterly terrible this year. Replacing Cain with any of them is a massive downgrade, and if Sanchez improves the way young pitchers do next year, then the same will be true for him.

Way off-topic, but I was shocked to see that while Tim Lincecum’s (shocking I would talk about him, isn’t it?) 2.62 FIP was identical to his ERA, Brandon Webb’s 3.28 FIP was nearly a half run HIGHER than his ERA. Even more shockingly, Johan Santana’s 3.51 figure was nearly a fully run higher than his league-leading 2.53 ERA.

I think Johan may well win the Cy, but clearly Tim is the guy who deserves it more. Johan just had better luck.

But thanks for behaving like I’m some kind of backwards idiot for being one of those who actually likes it.

I mean seriously, you must have posted this as a way of irritating the McCoven. Because nobody could be so stupid as to think that a new “Let’s trade Matt Cain for Prince Fielder!” thread could possibly be called for.

But you went a step beyond. Included in this idiotic idea is the wonderful notion of making a PACKAGE of players to send off for another batter. AND, that package includes one of our only other valuable starters.

This must be a joke, because I can’t imagine anyone being dumb enough to think, “You know what? Let’s trade away two of our best assets, as well as a combination of some of our minor leaguers to get two players in return!” Is that REALLY what anyone thinks a rebuilding team needs to do? This is utterly ridiculous.

Regarding trading Cain and/or Sanchez because Bumgarner and Alderson make them expendable: WAIT UNTIL THEY’RE CLOSER TO THE MAJOR LEAGUES!!! Seriously, don’t be in a rush to trade away our only good pitchers because we have a couple guys in Single A that MIGHT make the majors in 2010!

It surprises me that no one’s thought of this yet.

Let’s only watch on the days that Lincecum pitches! From that point of view, this is a great idea. I mean, how can Cain or Sanchez really help Lincecum, anyway? Plug Fielder and Phillips into the lineup, help him out a bit. The team might win only 50ish games next year, but they’ll win all 32-35 times that we’re watching!

The only problem this team has is scoring runs for Matt Cain. If he would have won as many games as Tim, they’d be in contention. Thus, all the team needs is some run producers for when Matt pitches. Thus, the only logical thing to do is not trade Matt Cain.
