Here’s a Buster Posey interview with Baseball Prospectus Radio. Posey doesn’t mention the Giants until 9:15 in, but I ran his voice through my computer voice modulation analyzer, and if I’m reading the results correctly, he sounds like he intends to sign. And by "computer voice modulation analyzer", I mean "Windows Media Player" with those trippy visual effects turned on.
On a completely unrelated note, Andrew Baggarly tells us all to calm the hell down when it comes to the draft. Deep breaths. They’re all likely to sign. His quote: "So I’d venture to say it’s a 99 percent certainty that all four will agree to terms before the Aug. 15 deadline." Now, I just saw that this was posted down in the FanShots area, but, really, who in the heck actually looks at those?
In Tim Kawakami’s latest post, we’re directed us to this Brian Sabean Q&A from 2006. Sabean hits at the necessity of free agent pitching. (crosses fingers and hopes for Barry Zito….)
The Yankees are scouting Randy Winn, whose average dropped to .277 when I was in the restroom. Yeesh. We’ll take Austin Jackson and call it even, Cashman. And give us back Dan Giese while you’re at it. I liked that guy.
Tim Alderson is good.

Randy Winn really went into the shitter. Hitting .190/.266/.207 in July will do that to you.

For those who have ever asked themselves: “Hey, have Buddy Hackett, Bill Bixby and the members of Oingo Boingo ever been in the same room together?”

is Tim Lincecum’s favorite movie, much to the surprise of the guy who did the Jumbotron “Pick Tim Lincecum’s Favorite Movie” at the game yesterday. For all I know, Timmah’s movie tastes have already been dissected ad naseum in 40 other fanposts.

Second Grandma’s Boy reference today, for me. One of my co-workers brought it up during lunch today.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

It looks almost too stupid to be funny, but I love stupid movies. Is this worth a Netflix?

One of the most underrated comedies in a long time.

Disclaimer: I also say that about Beerfest, which many people didn’t find funny. I have watched Beerfest 30 times and vehemently disagree.

The Yankees just traded for Xavier Nady, so I’m guessing the Randy Winn thing goes right out the window. Pity. I mean, not that Winn is a bad player. I’m just kind of bored with him, and would rather see the likes of Ishikawa and Schierholtz on the roster. And the fact that Winn AND Dave Roberts are both signed through next year is kind of sad.
