Post Winter Meetings Thread/Rumor Dump

PrintRule 5 news! I don't have time for a 18-part profile, like the Pulitzer-winning series on Luis Perdomo (you can buy the hardbound compilation here), but I'd like to welcome Steve Johnson and Jake Stevens to the organization, even if Johnson's here only until the end of spring.
Goodbye, Brian Horwitz and Ben Snyder. I kind of liked both of those players, dang it.
I'm pretty danged pleased with the Johnson pick, though it's unlikely the Giants will keep him on the roster. Same goes with the Snyder loss, but in reverse. I think I'd rather have Johnson, but only if we were able to stash him in AAA. I have a feeling Snyder's a much better bet to stick with the Orioles.

Snyder has gone from the Orioles to the Rangers as part of the Millwood deal and I think he’s less likely to stick with them.
Proud parent of Waldis Joaquin!
Wow — that ST reunion with his brother fantasy sure didn’t last long!
My Bucardo is better than yours.
A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.
Trying to figure out why Stevens is worth a roster spot…
Puzzled. Does he throw like a bajillion miles/hour?
"…this thing which tells time."
as part of the minor league draft, he doesn’t need to be on the 40-man.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
He probably isn’t worth a roster spot but then no-one at that stage of the Rule V draft is. He’s worth having to look at in spring training though and if he impresses or others struggle he’s got an outside chance to make the roster. I don’t believe he throws that hard, he’s more of a variety of pitches type.
Proud parent of Waldis Joaquin!
So we are borrowing stevens for ST
then sending him back to where he came from?
"…this thing which tells time."
He was taken in the minor league part.

Well, from whatever portion they get the player, he needs to stay on the roster at that level. So we picked up Johnson in the major league portion, so we need to keep him on the 25-man roster at the major league level. We picked up Stevens in the minor league phase, so he needs to stay in AAA the whole year and not drop down a level for us to keep him

Sorry, for some reason i was thinking of Johnson rather than Stevens, my mistake.
Stevens they don’t have to keep on the 25 man roster or the 40 man roster, he’s ours to “keep” if you like. As he was taken in the AAA phase i he has to stay in AAA though (I’m not certain on that restriction)
Proud parent of Waldis Joaquin!
So I hear the Mariners are talking Adrian Gonzalez
Morrow is said to be the starting point.
What would you give for Adrian Gonzalez? Me, I’d give MadBum, and…umm, something else, not sure.
"…this thing which tells time."
I’m quite skeptical about that one as I’m not sure the Mariners have the top level talent to get a deal done.
I’d give up Bumgarner and a couple of decent prospects outside the big four. I’m not confident that would be enough though.
Proud parent of Waldis Joaquin!
We have a big four still?
Posey, Bumgarner, Wheeler, Neal?
I wish it could have been big Six…

Window to win
Shorter version of post at end of last post…
We have Cain two more years, Sanchez three more years, and Lincecum four more years.
Maybe we’re being a little too cautious about the players, and especially prospects, we want to protect? It appears 2010 and 2011 could possibly be the best shot we’ll have in a while. It could be time to try to go big in terms of a trade (although I doubt any of trust Sabean to make the right sort of big trade)…
But some of these guys aren’t necessarily that far from the majors at the moment.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
Yeah, that’s true, and controlling young guys is the key to an affordable winning team. I just hope that if we’re going to just make incremental changes that we make at least two of them, and maybe even three.
I really don’t think the following is out of the realm of possibility (in terms of players and money, not in terms of who Bochy would actually play)…
1) F. Sanchez, SS
2) Nick Johnson, 1B
3) Uggla, 2B
4) Panda, 3B
5) Cameron, CF
6) Schierholtz, RF
7) Posey, C
8) Rowand/Bowker, LF
You’re kidding yourself. They don’t have enought cash for Johnson + Uggla + Cameron.
No way.

Sadly

I was talking to a Philly fan the other day about the structure of the minors and how it seems to have changed. It seems like AA has the highest level of talent. All though usually raw, AAA seems to be more spot starters and career Minor Leaguers.

I agree with you about the M’s GM.
Every move has been stellar. It almost doesn’t matter who they have hitting behind Ichiro and Figgins, even a mediocre hitter would pile up 100+ RBIs.Plus, that defense is going to make their pitchers look even better.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.

I really don’t like the Figgins signing and think they overpaid him due to a career year.
Proud parent of Waldis Joaquin!
Seattle had a horrible team OBP so “Z” went to fix. Plus he had to replace GG defense at 3b if they were to lose Beltre. Tablesetting Ichiro/Figgins makes life a whole lot easier
Yeah, but they didn’t need to pay him almost $40M when there are other similar quality players available who’ll sign for much less than that.

Nah, he’s not really a 3.5 Win player, he’s only been that good once which was last year. He’s more like a 2.5-3 win player which is still good but there’s a few players available who are of similar ability (Beltre, Hudson, etc) who aren’t going to get any where near that kind of money.

I'd bet on Beltre getting between 8 and 10 million
Just probably not as long

We’ll have to see what Beltre gets, he looks like he’s going to get similar money but like you say he might not get the years. It’s the combination of high annual value and 4 years that i find bad. He’s a good player but i just don’t think the 4/36 is market value for a player of his quality in a market saturated with decent 2B/3B types.
Proud parent of Waldis Joaquin!
$9 million a year is basically money for a 2.5-win player.
if they’d been paying him for his 2009, he would have gotten like $12-15 million a year. As it is, they’re essentially paying him for the kind of seasons he put up from 04-08, not 09. It was a good signing.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
Yeah, and that’s similar to his ability and so in a vacuum it’s ok. The problem is, there are plenty of similar level players who aren’t going to sign for that kind of money. Sanchez signed for $12M, Polanco signed for $18M, Scutaro signed for $12M, i’d imagine Hudson will get a deal in that kind of range as well.
It’s his last year that’s made people think Figgins is worth paying twice as much as those type of players. In a vacuum it’s ok but in this market i can’t see it as another than very poor value for money.
Proud parent of Waldis Joaquin!

I like the idea, especially because the odds of 1 of Rent/Sanchez breaking down or sucking are pretty good.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
Well my thought was that Kouzmanoff would be brought in to fill the Uribe role. But since this is the Giants, I guess we can’t rule out the idea that they would make him the everyday third baseman, even though he’s worse and more expensive than Garko, who he’d be replacing in the lineup.

Don’t want Uribe back, he’ll probably go back to being replacement level and we’ll wonder why we wasted money on a replacement level utility infielder. It’s worth reminding people that Uribe career numbers are pretty much the same as the line Molina put up next last year all whilst playing in great hitters parks. If he comes back on a similar deal to last year then I’m fine but they shouldn’t pay him more than $1M or so.

Sell the fact that both teams have pieces that could be beneficial to one another creating a more competitive division.
