Stealing Baetown's Bit (HAFT MAILBAGZ!)

I don't think this has been posted yet.

Let the lolquestions begin!

"With Adrian Gonzalez on the block making $4.75 million in 2010 and $5.5 million in 2011, why isn't he on Sabean's radar? The guy's a Giant killer and hits more than 30 home runs a year. Sounds like a blue-light special for the taking. What am I missing? Pablo Sandoval at third base, Gonzalez at first ... How simple is this? Throw in the balldude -- whatever it takes.

WHY DON"T THE GIANTS TREAD FOR CC, GRANDY, LONGORIA AND UTLEY AND SING BAY AND HOLLIDAY? GRANDY COULD PLAY CENTER, HOLIDAY IN LEFT, ROWAND IN RIGHT AND BAY CAN DH. WE WOULD ONLY HAVETO GIVE UP SANCHEZ (BOTH), LEWIS, NATE AND ISHI. WHY HAVEN’T THE BRAZZ OOKED INTO THIS?

THEY COULD ALSO TRADE FOR CABRERA. IMAGINE GRANDY, UTLEY, CABRERA PANDA LONGORIA BAY AND HOLLIDAY IN THE SAME LINEUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG I JUST CAME!!!!!!!

YOU SON OF A...

(actually, I don’t think this is my bit anymore… I used to do it b/c Haft was agreeable last season… not so much anymore)

and umm…

Everyone is Christmas shopping for the best fit on the current roster. This is the wrong approach (!!!!). The Giants should be looking at Los Angeles and Colorado and deciding what it will take to beat these guys.

THIS IS NOT A MUTUALLY-EXCLUSIVE PROPOSITION NUMBNUTS

Don't stop there

It’s like a cool babe focusing as usual on what to wear for holiday parties while her stud boyfriend looks terrible. Couples should look good together.

Not sure what to do about my screen name at this point...

If he looks terrible, he’s not much of a stud, is he!?

So wait…are the Giants the cool babe and the Dodgers are the stud boyfriend? That can’t be right.

We can’t do better than him? He’s all dressed sloppy. I say we cheat on him. With his brother. Or his father.

I have been to Fribourg, Switzerland. Beer is not something the Swiss do well.

SO SIMPLE

No skill involved at all

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

I like that the guy tries to use WHIP in the affeldt question, but 1.17 is good, not bad.

Hey gfanfron65 How about Cain and a player to be named to the Yankees for Jeter, ARod and Teschera instead of Uggla, think about it???

Francisco Peguero’s numbers continue to soar in the Dominican League. Is he making another staement on his ability, as he did in being MVP in A ball and MVP in the play-offs when elevated to Advanced A with San Jose. Could he be ready for prime time at 21 years of age?

My brothers wife died in Afghanistan defending our constitution. I also believe in freedom of speech and the rights of everyone expressing their beliefs. I enjoy the banter of Sabean bashers and defenders, listening to the whiners wine, the bashers bash and the praisers praise continuously. I even got ripped from Lucy last week when I thought I corrected her and took it with a smile and a joke. I thought this was a cool sight until now I am appalled that someone hijacked a users name to discredit someone who has the same right as anyone else to express their feelings. If anyone doesn’t agree with me please move to Iran and see the difference. Sorry to get personal.

Last July, the Baltimore Orioles got two Minor Leaguers (including right-hander Steven Johnson, whom the Giants selected in the Rule 5 Draft) for George Sherrill, another top left-handed setup reliever. The dynamics of trades are strange. Premier players frequently don’t fetch what they’re worth.

You’re right Chris. Josh Bell isn’t one of the top 3B prospects in the game. Not as bad as the last mailbag where he scoffed at UZR and called the questioner an idiot, but still.

The very bad man traded my son...So now I'd like you all to meet my new son, Ryan "Aaron" Garko...Dammit it's just not the same!

You know it makes me sad that there was a 2 week period where I was unsure if I was going to have a job come the first of the year, but people like this have job security.
