Answer:
Another second baseman, so you can move your expensive second baseman to third, and your third baseman to first.
Duh.

Sounds like Bay won’t be returning to the Red Sox.
Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that free agent outfielder Jason Bay has rejected the Red Sox latest contract offer and is prepared to “move on.”

Gammons said that " the Giants would be willing to give him five years." If Gammons had any credibility, I would think people would be guessing that this “mystery team” is the Giants. Of course, the Giants could offer him 10 years 1 billion dollars and he would never ever play in San Francisco.

It's because of teh gays!
True story: I was visiting my roommate from college at his home in New York, where his wealthy parents live. On the drive from the airport, his mom was telling me about how much she loved the San Francisco bay area, and when they immigrated to the U.S from Iran several decades ago she wanted to move there, but couldn’t stand all the gay people. When I told my mom about this, she said “well it must be a shock coming from a country that doesn’t have any homosexuals” (in reference to the Ahmadinejad comment). Burned!
But yeah, it was sort of a weird weekend.

For his career he’s about the same in both positions.

by oldjacket on Dec 12, 2009 6:08 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
OK
Here’s a rule of thumb: 1,000 innings of UZR are as reliable as 300 PA’s of an advanced hitting stat. In other words, a season of UZR is a s reliable as 2 season of hitting.
So, when you say “but he was +2 in LF in 250 innings”, you’re basically saying “but Velez hit well in 75 PA’s after his call-up”. Doesn’t that make you feel dirty?

Because he’s a terrible defensive OF (Adam Dunn terrible), and not that good a hitter? He hit well in 300 PA’s last year, terrible the year before that, average the year before that. His career OPS+ is 109, 107 over the last three years. That’s simply not good enough to make up for his ridiculous defense.

I want the Giants to go after Kelly Johnson. He seems like a nice low-risk move to fill the void that we had last year at second base. We could then sign Nick Johnson to play 1B. Jonny Gomes has power to make up for his bad defense. I would platoon him with John Bowker, DFAing that fellow Geno Velez to make roster space for him. I’ve heard that the Cubs are shopping Milton Bradley. I think a bad-contract swap with us exchanging Rowand would be a good idea. I would then play the athletic Nate Schierholtz at CF.
It will probably take a good deal of money to get Uggla some more money to make the trade palatable for the Cubs. I think that the best option for our other openings is to go with low-cost solutions. We can start Holm until Posey’s service time issue is knotted up and then play him for the rest of the year. Also, for our 5th starter, there is this fellow named Tim, I forget his last name, who was a high draft pick for us recently and I think he is ready to fill in there.
Here’s how my lineup would look (career obp):
RF Bradley (.371)
1B Johnson (.402)
3B Sandoval
LF Bowker/Gomes (.330)
CF Schierholtz
2B Johnson (.346)
C Posey
SS Renteria
I really feel that this lineup will bring us to the playoffs, and maybe even a world series. I like that the new additions have good OBP. That will lead us to score more runs!
I also think that Sabean will definitely be on board with this offseason. It’s the kind of brilliance we have become acquainted to from him recently. I especially liked how patient he was last season in not making any trades, because he had the foresight to see that the team was not a legitimate contender in 2009 and didn’t hurt the farm system to chase an ephemeral fancy.

You know, with all the talk of terrible contracts
I’m surprised more people don’t mention the White Sox giving Mark Teahen three years. He’s been worth a combined 0.3 WAR the last two seasons. In five seasons, he’s been a good hitter once, and his defense seems to be in decline. Ouch.

Nothing either season with Lincecum as far as I can tell. Meh.

The time I shocked my wife by my behavior at a ballgame: we were sitting in the bleachers, and I heckled Shane Victorino extensively about how his parents were brother and sister. She was pretty embarrassed!
Then, at McCovey’s this year, I used the same line on the Dodger fans who were being obnoxious during the brief period when the Dodgers were mounting a comeback.
In true Dodger fan form, they were long gone by the end of the game.

That’s not fair, Garko is a much nicer guy than Hillenbrand!
Seriously though, this destroys any arguments people may have made in favor of the Garko trade back when it happened. Garko is the same player that Sabes though was worth Barnes back in July. At the time, they talked up his two years of team control as a plus. And yet, now, they want to upgrade from him… then why did they acquire him in the first place?
IT MAKES NO SENSE. Unless Sabes really thinks Garko is the player who had a 50 something OPS+ for the Giants (which he probably does.)

The Giants will be watching the list of non-tendered players closely to lengthen their list of player-acquisition options. Tampa Bay catcher Dioner Navarro, Kansas City catcher John Buck and Colorado corner infielder Garrett Atkins are among performers the Giants might consider if they’re non-tendered.

give him two for god's sake
if this team is going to go somewhere, it needs a catcher, either until Posey catches on or to back him up if he sets the world on fire. That scenario will be the same next year; even if Posey is the starter this year one foul tip in spring training next year could take him out for months.
Rather than throw money at some redundant crapulent outfielder, get a real catcher on the roster. Cripes.

From Baggs
The Giants are looking at Nick Johnson or Adam LaRoche to play first — or sign Mark DeRosa to play third and move Pablo Sandoval to first.
I’m told the Giants have offered contracts to all three free agents, but as the winter meetings ended, they weren’t close on the dollar figures. LaRoche, for example, wanted a three-year, $31.5 million deal.
