New Trade Proposal from New Member

by TexasRanger on Dec 19, 2008 1:49 AM PST Comment 170 comments

Hi 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.”

by sularz on Dec 19, 2008 4:59 AM PST reply actions 0 recs

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.

by Merope on Dec 19, 2008 6:03 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

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?

wow next time you want to join a club or other blog site, don’t. hey i’ve got an idea, why don’t we trade steve kline for lee smith and nolan ryan. then we could trade travis denker for a-rod because he hits the ball far too. then when we are done we can send zito to to indians for cliff lee because hell zito’s got a cy young and so does lee. that makes it even.

I like listening to Eric Byrnes

I remember last year when he devoted three segments of Radnich’s show to how much he enjoyned taking a shit first thing in the morning. Ever since then I’ve felt that we’ve shared a special bond.

I listened to a little bit of the first day of Byrnes and FP taking over the show for Fitz and Brooks last week. Amazingly, I didn’t hate it! And I can’t stand Eric Byrnes!

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.

A salary dump?
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.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA. nice post idiot. yea ok, lets just trade zito (im sure some other team will be HAPPY to pay his contract). and sure, trade rowand for a GREAT prospect! sign manny and get prince, and there you have it!! 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
