We can always trust and believe exactly what Sabean says in the begining of the Off season.

In this case, I believe him. No way does he give up Mr. Gamer for Clubhouse Problem.

Yep.

Matt Cain: throwing complete game shutouts since 06'. No big deal.

This right here.

In Sabean-speak, this translates to, “LOL…fuck no!”

It translates to that in anybody-speak.

Sabean is doing his Lars impression by saying LOL BRADLEY

He wants next year’s MCC Most Amusing award.

While I wish they would consider unloading Scott for Bradley, from a management and organizational standpoint I can completely understand why the Giants wouldn’t want to touch a player like Bradley with a 10 foot pole.

by Hobbes2d on Nov 11, 2009 10:43 AM PST reply actions  

yeah, unlike us, Sabean would actually have to deal with Bradley.

Please hit better, Randy Winn.

by oldjacket on Nov 11, 2009 10:51 AM PST up reply actions  

But in my fantasy league it totally makes sense.

Utter frustration and futility.

How many years have we had to del with Sabean negitive personality traits? Karma can be B.

Eh. Brian is more of a D-.

"All I know is right now, you comeback and do you dwell on that? I think you're man enough to take it, you're man enough to chew on it, to spit it out and you learn from it. ... I think winners let it go. I think losers dwell on it and talk about it all week and that screws you up for the next opportunity going forward." - Mike Singletary after the 49ers loss to the Vikings

Definitely seems like the Giants are trying to be clean as possible.

With that said, DFA the pot smoker Lincecum.

From a business standpoint I can understand it, but I care about the baseball side of things. It makes enough sense you have to consider it from that viewpoint…

by Missing Barry on Nov 11, 2009 12:14 PM PST up reply actions  

Perhaps they feel there are other trades available to them that wouldn’t require them having to get a guy like Bradley? Who knows.

by Hobbes2d on Nov 11, 2009 12:43 PM PST up reply actions  

Maybe, I just don’t see a reason to rule it out as a possibility.

by Missing Barry on Nov 11, 2009 1:12 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah, this isn’t his usual “We’ll kick the tires” general-speak that leaves us all wondering. He seems pretty clear that this won’t happen. Which is unfortunate.

STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.

I don’t understand what he’s trying to convey with the addition by subtraction comment.

Please hit better, Randy Winn.

by oldjacket on Nov 11, 2009 10:50 AM PST reply actions  

I don’t get it either.

Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...

by rotorueter on Nov 11, 2009 11:28 AM PST up reply actions  

“A deal like that? For a player like that?” Giants general manager Brian Sabean said. “No. Is that succinct enough? I don’t know that addition by subtraction would work. Smarter people than us have tried that.

Wow. I never would have guessed, based on his history, that Sabean would start going with understatement this offseason.

On a completely different note, would any of you entertain a Rowand-Rios swap as a starting point for discussions with the White Sox? If so, what else would have to happen to make a deal?

Still the loving, adoptive father of Hector Sanchez. And who doesn't love switch-hitting catchers with power and patience?

by tedfordfan on Nov 11, 2009 10:54 AM PST reply actions  

God no

Rios’s contract is putrid.

Rios=DNW almost no matter what. If we could trade Zito and Rowand for Rios I’d think about it. But that’s the only situation, and I feel like the ChiSox might not go for that.

by quincy0191 on Nov 11, 2009 3:13 PM PST up reply actions  

Rios for Rowand AND Renteria

by wilriv21 on Nov 11, 2009 3:38 PM PST up reply actions  

Yes.

Or “This” as I have observed the McCoven to say.

Years that this saves the Giants money: 2010

Years that this makes no financial difference for the Giants: 2011-2012
Years that this costs the Giants money: 2013-2015

I hate Brian Sabean

Hate him. So, so, so so much. Bradley is a great player. We need great players. I don’t care about personality issues. And apparently everyone else is so fixated on the words “clubhouse cancer” that they can’t read “2008 OPS: .999”.

by quincy0191 on Nov 11, 2009 3:15 PM PST reply actions  

It's funny

His answer really wasn’t very succinct. He had to ask two rhetorical questions before getting to his one word response.
