I also like Correia. He seems to benefit from being in the rotation like Sanchez, though he’s not flourishing the way Jonathan is.

I see your perspective on Aurilia, Durham and Winn. But for me Winn is blocking more prospects. Moving him means we can move NAte up which means, we can move EME up (last chance hotshot), and have room to move Sosa up from AA next year to AAA. It seems like the Giants should be able to actually get something for Durham, and he’s not blocking any prospects at the moment (Bochy playing Omar is blocking prospects), so I think that the Giants can bargain hard with Durham, and easy with Winn. If someone wants Richie, I guess they can have him… but I suspect the Front office likes him hanging around and moving up the Giants leader board, and he seems okay with the pinch hitter, sub role.

Bowker and Burriss can see a whole bunch more playing time, even with the players the Giants have. Think Fransden, when Ray was finally benched last year.

I thought Romo was pretty good. He made the one mistake to Soto though, and it cost them. Still, Romo should have started that inning. Why Correia was still in the game is a mystery that only the idiot we have in the dugout can probably explain. It would probably be something like, “Correia is a veteran and older than the other guy.” I say “other guy” because Bochy probably doesn’t know his name yet. When he learns it, he’ll call him “Romee” or something stupid like that. By the way, Kruk and Kuip was talking about him pitching carefully to Soto because first base was open. I knew he wasn’t going to do that, because Taschner was warming up and the lefty Edmonds was up next. If he walks Soto, he’s out of the game. Unfortunately, the kid is going to try to get Soto out without thinking of what might be best for the team.

that about covers it.

I agree with this natto

Also, does it really irk people when someone “haha’s” their own post? Haha?

lol =X means “i’ll shut up now”

I keep wanting to hate Castillo

but then I look at his numbers, and I just can’t.

Look here. Castillo is below average in every single aspect of the game – he’s got below average contact, bellow average on base, below average power, below average defense, below average base-running. When you combine all of that you get one of the worst 3B in the MLB.

but omar’s awesome! :P lol. he wasn’t on mine cause he’s got such a cool personality, and his defensive plays still hit the highlight reels ;)

And I might or might not let Yabu out of your Age Edict; I’m leaning toward not, but I haven’t had lunch and might just be cranky.

If we trade him, he could do what NFL players do at the end of their career. Sign a one day contract and retire as a Giant. Actually I would have no problem if they traded him and he came back next year with a one year minimum type contract. The condition would be that Bochy wasn’t here and Aurilia would be limited to pinch hitting and occasionally starting against lefties.
