Yeah, and Randy Winn will start ever freaking…

…hey, when did Randy Winn get good again?

Still, I’m all for a Winn trade to make room for Nate. I want Nate to be successful so I can read Joe Sheehan’s mea culpa article.

It is awesome that Randy is good again, for reals, but I’ll be so frustrated if Nate is forced to play at AAA for a third straight year in 09 when he’s clearly got nothing left to learn there (he’s got one more year of options, right?)

I think the Giants used his last option this year.

Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.

Move Winn to center after Rowan tries to knock down a wall again. I am sure Bochy with set Rowan then so problem solved.

I’d like to see him to do well, partially for a mea culpa article from Sheehan too. But then again, I don’t think all that highly of BP (I do of BA, though), so I don’t really care either. I’d like Nate to do well, and I’d like for BP eat some more shit, and in this situation both can happen.

At this point, I’m only for a Winn trade if SF gets something in return. While I want Nate to do well, I don’t expect it—certainly not defensively.

Who among us thinks Nate will do ‘average’ at RF—considering he’ll play half his games at at&t? I think he might have a chance at average, but will that really cut it for the giants?

Welcome home? Isn’t that what that catcher said to him in the Olympics?

Yeah

Nate didn’t understand him though since he doesn’t know Mandarin.

Farewell, Ray. We'll miss your smile and your sugar. Welcome, Steve Hammond "Eggs". Throw strikes.

I really don’t know where can we stick Nate. Lewis should stay in LF, Winn is a very good RF and Rowand ain’t going anywhere. I’m against trading Winn just to make room for Nate. If we can’t get a good prospect for Randy, then we should consider trading Nate.

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

Intresting. Mind me asking your logic?

I’m with Cooky on getting rid of a good outfielder just for Nate. I’d be okay with it if we got a real (not just an “intriguing” prospect) return for him. I’d be really happy if we got rid of Roberts and Nate become the 4th outfielder.

I was more curious why,

" I’m against trading Winn just to make room for Nate."

That reads as a fairly strong stance, against moving Winn. Not saying its wrong, or right, but wondering why. Once I hear it I can tell you how much agree or disagree with it.

It should be noted in the last month I been routing for and getting a fair amount for enjoyment out of what will probably be an Answer to a 2012 trivia question -Ochoa. So I am not hostile to illogical reasons as long as they are recognized as such by the provider.
