New Trade Proposal from New Member

PrintHi guys I am new to this site and i just want to share some things with you guys, namely how i feel about baseball, what i think about the Giants, and what they should do this offseason.
1. I think the Giants should trade Matt Cain for Prince Fielder, Matt Cain is a losing pitcher who loses a lot. Prince Fielder hits balls very far! This trade is a no-brainer for the Giants, get rid of a LOSER and bring in a SLUGGER.
2. Trade Zito and get rid of his contract, someone will want an ex cy young award winner. Since he used to be good some team will take a chance on him, it will be a chance to get rid of that contract and for us to start over and sign a new free agent.
3. Since we have traded Zito., We can now sign Manny, he also hits balls far and Manny and Fielder would be a great one two punch.
4. Trade Rowand too, maybe for Cameron Maybin or Jason Heyward, idk. Rowand is a great player and a gamer, but he doesn't fit the team right now. Plus if we got rid of his contract we could use that money to sign a free agent pitcher. I'm thinking someone like Jon Garland who actually WINS games unlike someone we know (hint Matt Cain hint).
5. Rush blows
The bottom line is this: baseball is about two things, scoring runs and winning games. That is why you want to have good home run hitters and pitchers who win games on your team. Matt Cain does not win games, he is a loser and i see no "statistics" to prove to me otherwise! Get Fielder in here stat and Manny and dump Cain, see how many more games you win cuz you score more. God i wish more manager generals thought like i did (sigh)

Personally...
I think that making a link between bad fanposts and “New Members” isn’t good for McCC’s well-being, even when it’s done in the service of “humor.”
In a way I agree, but then there’s part of me that says… lurk for awhile, see what’s what, read some posts, get to know the vibe of the place before you post. One doesn’t just burst into a dinner party and shout “I’m here, I’m here let the bells ring out and the banners fly!”
I lurked for a year before I started posting, but then I’m shy.
Also...
I think “Don’t post for the sake of posting…” is a good rule of thumb.
There has been a rash of posts lately with someone’s, ahem, “thoughts,” or unsubstantiated projections, and whatnot. I like fanposts with actual content because they prompt discussion.
Anything else is like talking to hear the sound of your own voice.

On a more serious note (but only slightly more serious) Could a swap of Rowand for Dye work? I know it doesnt clear much more time for Nate this year, but it would be a salary dump long term, give us a more legitimate middle of the order bat, and fulfill the Chi-Sox need for a CF/man-love for Rowand. Plus add another local guy to the team. Didnt want to dedicate an entire fanpost to a ridiculous trade idea, but thought I would float the idea and this seems like the perfect thread to hijack.
Agreed
I’d love it, but I don’t see Chicago doing this.

Great Idea!
Josh Hamilton for Barry Zito, of cousre I would expect the Rangers would pick up some of the money owed to Hamilton
David Wright for Dave Roberts. I mean both guys are already named David, so Mets fand probably wouldn’t notice
…and what a good point about Matt Cain’s losing record! Maybe if we package Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, and Madison Bumgarner, we could end up with a legitimate hitting threat the likes of a Hideki Matsui. If we could only be so lucky.

I think most of the proposals here are good. I also think they would result in several general managers getting fired.
Matt Cain for Prince Fielder
Wow. We should definitely do this.

Maybe Zito for Chris Davis?
Maybe Rowand for Cameron Maybin?
This is an amazing idea. I like this. We should do this. I checked and MLB the show approves.

And here are some “statistics” to prove otherwise regarding cain ~ era. he had a great era, and its not his fault the giants couldn’t score. its a good thing more “manger generals” dont think like you, I couldn’t imagine a worse GM than Sabean! god its funny how u basically think ur the shit and know it all. lmfao thank u for making my day
