Listening to KNBR...

by kvdp12 on Oct 8, 2008 4:51 PM PDT

Sooo, i was listening to a bunch of recent KNBR stuff where they were talking to Larry Baer, Krukow and Kuiper and they all kinda hinted at trades and possibly signing Sabathia. So i made this up. what we should do and what the team would look like.

Trade Matt Cain and Henry Sosa to the Milwaukee Brewers for Prince Fielder and J.J. Hardy. Both are arbitartion eligible, they need pitching and they have a young star SS that is blocked by Hardy.

Emmanuel Burriss will move to 2B where 'blocking' Frandsen shouldnt be that big of a deal.

Pablo Sandoval will move to 3B where he played an errorless 85 innings. Doesnt mean he'll be a gold glove winner, just means its possible he can handle himself there.

Sign CC Sabathia who is from the Bay Area, has expressed interest in playing close to where he grew up, and who is friends with Prince Fielder.

Sign Juan Cruz to be a set up man for the team.

Trade Randy Winn. Maybe for a minor league pitcher to replace Sosa.

Trade Dave Roberts for anyone, or release him.

When you say “hinted”, what exactly were they saying to give you this impression? Do you recall any exact quotes?

Why trade Winn? Just for the sake of trading him? He is solid on offense and excellent on defense. Unless the Giants get someone decent for him in a trade, I’d rather keep him on the team.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

If we’re trading for Fielder and Hardy then I would assume we’re going for it. Then keeping Winn makes the most sense.

Nate Schierholtz is why. The bigger question is why give up Cain AND Sosa if the Brewers are so desperate to unload their guys?

If you want to win baseball games, Randy Winn is the better bet than Nate Schierholtz.

winning in 2009

shouldn’t be our top priority. If we’re shooting toward 2010/11 I’d rather get Schierholtz some ABs sooner than later

yeah, but . . .

If you’re trading for Fielder and Hardy, then you’re trying to win in 2009. You see where we’re going with this?

“winning in 2009 shouldn’t be our top priority”

It should be if you want to keep a fanbase.
Sure, the unconditional fans like us will always exist, but we’re a small minority.

by AmorVincitOmnia on Oct 11, 2008 11:08 AM PDT up 0 recs

But I should also bring up the point...

Sabean or Magowan had clearly stated years ago that they never wanted to rebuild the way that the Indians did after their dynasty days. Where they went young for a few years. Their fanbase was just like “we’ll see you when you have a good team.”
Sabes and Magowan said they’d never do such a thing.
One year of “rebuilding” was probably all that they had in mind. Expect them to make a splash this offseason and do everything in their abilities to create a winning team.

by AmorVincitOmnia on Oct 11, 2008 11:13 AM PDT up 0 recs

You really expect Schierholtz to be better than Winn? Next year?

..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.

by Cookyman on Oct 8, 2008 5:25 PM PDT up 0 recs

I would attack this for being another “trade Cain” thread, but I admire the work put into the depth chart.

Apple Strudel Pop Tarts. They suck, but some stupid person at work keeps eating all the ones in the vending machine until it gets to Apple Strudel again, and then if I want Pop Tarts, I have to get Apple Strudel. And then this jerk gets to cycle through the good flavors again until it gets to Apply Strudel and I want Pop Tarts again.

I would have had cereal, but I slept in until 15 minutes before I had to leave for work. Basically shower, dress, drive, Pop Tart at that point.

I hope the Giants don’t go after and overpay a guy like Juan Cruz. I like Romo in the setup role. I’d rather mix and match with some veterans (Embree/Brocail) because I got sick and tired of our middle relievers crumbling (I am talking to you Sadler and Walker) – a proven veteran would at least provide some stability.

Also, Hardy and Fielder for Cain would be stupid for the Brewers. They can get pitching for a fraction of the cost. Fielder would be fun and so would Hardy but I think we are missing the point that even Neukom isn’t trying to contend realistically in ‘09 – of course they would never say that publicly – this team is being built for 2010. I don’t want to trade for a masher at 1B because he might block AnVil – I’d rather see the Giants go after Cantu or Atkins – guys who can play both corners and will cost less.
