Quick Thoughts

Would it not make sense to just add 2 pieces to our lineup that would make us an above average offense? Well, I know those two pieces. Those two pieces are Chone Figgins and Matt Holliday. Both of them could be easily placed into the lineup and the lineup would look like this:
3B-Chone Figgins
2B- Freddy Sanchez
LF-Matt Holliday
SS-Juan Uribe
RF-Nate Schierholtz/Andres Torres/Eugenio Velez
CF-Aaron Rowand
P Tim Lincecum/Matt Cain/Barry Zito/Randy Johnson/Brad Penny
Set-Up- Jeremy Affeldt and Sergio Romo
Closer-Brian Wilson
Now that is a playoff roster maybe even a championship one and I have not mentioned names like the likes of Jonathan Sanchez, Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner. They could potentially be trade bait for other bats. And forget Edgar Renteria,please.

Chone Figgins + Matt Holliday could cost about $30 million a year. The Giants don’t have that kind of money. jesus christ.

And we’re somehow going to be able to afford Penny and Uribe too? How?

And Randy Johnson apparently! And Bengie Molina! lmao

This post is just full of face-palm.
Joe Martinez: You are cool.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
and we give up 4 draft picks to get them! the earliest we pick is in the fifth round if we decided to do that.

Brilliant!
Trade Posey and re-sign Bengie!
WHY IS BOCOCK?!

What happened to:
Jonathan Sanchez
Buster Posey
John Bowker
Fred Lewis
Travis Ishikawa
Ryan Garko
Edgar Renteria (I can’t forget his $10M, sorry)
All of Bill Neukom’s money
This is like the ultimate WIN NOW and FAIL posts combined. Just awful.
we’re trading sanchez, posey, bowker, lewis, ishikawa, and garko for a big bat, geez, read the whole post before commenting

"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
Oh
Right. Okay. Sounds good.
Anyone in mind? Or do we just leave those guys by the side of the street with a “For Trade” sign and see who shows up?
Eureka!
The only things wrong here are that Bengie needs to be leading off, Randy Winn needs to be re-signed to play shortstop, and the poster who signs himself “Mike Fox” needs to be platooning with Sandoval at first. We would take the WS in four straight, maybe five.
you guys are all very funny
those guys are BENCH guys who dont really have that much of an impact. I would not mind replacing bengie with posey and penny with bumgarner. i do love uribe at shortstop though. but if you want renteria, fine. I agree, holiday is a bit of a stretch, but figgins is very possible.
I know you’re a Yankees fan, but most teams don’t actually have that kind of money to throw around and the Giants definitely don’t.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
Yes we do
You see, jponry, the Giants just don’t want to win as much as the Yankees do. If we did, we would make Neukom sell the team to his former boss, Bill Gates, who would then pour money down the throat of every free agent and we would win the World Series a lot.
But money doesn’t win the World Series anyway, because the Rays made it in 2008 with a $49M payroll. They lost to a team with a $113M payroll, but still. Also, buying the best talent (and therefore preventing your opponents from getting it) does not guarantee that it will actually perform well. So there.
good luck having Uribe repeat his 2009 numbers
A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.
I get it now.
Matt Cain: throwing complete game shutouts since 06'. No big deal.

Good grief.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

If I give somebody my e-mail address could they please let me know when all of these posts have stopped and it is safe to return to McCovey Chronicles?

To be safe, just return April 5, 2010.

someone explain to me EXACLTY how much cap room you have
I would not mind replacing bengie with posey and penny with bumgarner. i do love uribe at shortstop though. but if you want renteria, fine. I agree, holiday is a bit of a stretch, but figgins is very possible.
There is no way the Giants pay-roll goes over $100mil and will probably be around $90mil. They have to pay Tim at least ten million in aribitration and have other arb-eligible players to pay, as well. In all likelihood, the team has about $15mil to spend.
Joe Martinez: You are cool.

We don't know
We’ve got arb raises to Lincecum, Wilson, and Sanchez among others, which could total anywhere between $15-20M. Probably around $10-15M.
Also, you shouldn’t copy and paste what you said in your last comment. It’s right there. We can read it.
Take a look at this and then think about what you’ve done.

None, Bochy’s head fills even the biggest caps.

4. Holliday RF
5. Sandoval 3B
6. Bradley CF (Rowand+cash for Bradley)
7. Fielder 1B (Cain for Fielder)
8. Bay LF
9. P
Rotation:
Lackey
Bedard
Wolf
Duchscherer
Zito
Opening Day payroll: $200M.
LOL Zito

If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.
So good.

These budget cuts are hard on McCovey Chronicles. We have to smoke weed and eat Choco Tacos and rosterbate for entertainment.

One improvement on your great idea
Leave Pablo at 3B and trade for Pujols to play 1B.
Juan Carlos Perez, please start hitting.
I lol’d.
Still in despair.

I have been asked politely to forget Edgar Renteria. I sure would like to, but he will be on the Giants for another year. I do not have the ability to change this fact. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. I do however have the authority to deal Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner and have traded them both to the Yankees for Jose Molina and Phil Coke and a kick in myh ballz.
These are fun
let me try
C-Mauer
1B-Pujols
2B-Utley
SS-Jeter
3B-Panda
LF-Holliday
CF-Adam Jones
RF-Bay
SP-Lincecum
SP-Greinke
SP-Cain
SP-Carpenter
SP-Lackey
CP-Papelbon
*We also got Strasburg from the Nationals and our payroll for this year is $0.01
