The Giants lost Nick Johnson to the Yankees. They could lose Mark DeRosa to the Yankees, Braves or Cardinals. But they remain confident that they will free-agent hitters.
Matt Holliday or Jason Bay?
"I wouldn’t say it’s impossible," said one source with knowledge of the team’s thinking, "but let’s see how everything unfolds."
...sez Rosenthal. Say it loud, and say it proud! We will free-agent hitters! We will free-agent hitters!

The Giants believe Holliday and Bay will receive more attractive offers from other clubs, the source said. They also might prefer to distribute their money to several players rather than allocate most of it to just one.

The Good, The Bad, and the Likely
The Good (being somewhat realistic)
1) Trade prospects for Uggla or Overbay or sign Delgado if he’s cheap enough
2) Sign Erik Bedard if he’ll take a very incentive-heavy contract
3) Sign a catcher who is good at mentoring and defense and so bad at offense that even Bochy won’t start him
4) Look into Felipe Lopez or Kelly Johnson if we don’t get Uggla, Lopez is cheap enough, and the Giants are willing to sit Renteria (Sanchez would go to SS if we got Johnson)
5) Something to improve on the outfield. Nationals like Willingham, but they’re also desperate for pitching, so I’d at least look into that
The Bad
DeRosa three years, $15 million
Sheffield one year, $6 million
Kris Benson one year, $8 million
The Likely
See "The Bad, but substitute Dye for Sheffield
If I’m a team like the Cardinals with a pitching coach known for turning pitchers around, I’d be looking at Rich Hill…
Regarding #3
Bochy had Whiteside ahead of Posey at the end of last year. It’s impossible to be worse than Whiteside offensively.

On #4
No cheap “OCab”? For the record I prefer Johnson.

Real answer is..
For the Beatles, and probably many early artists, the albums were first mixed for Mono, then mixed for Stereo. The later sessions were overseen by the Beatles so the Mono albums are really the ones they did, then engineers did the Stereo versions afterwards.

"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."

I have Pet Sounds by the beach boys… so they had mono singles AND stereo on the same album… but that’s interesting bout the Beatles
Yea I do want to get that.
Essentially the two box sets (Mono and Stereo) is a big way to make more money, clearly. On the Mono Set, Help! is presented as the mono version and the original US 1965 stereo mix. So it would be possible.

"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."

Do you mean listing tracks that you’ve just heard?
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

I used to use that too, but I don’t know of any app that does thatnow. FB does have last.fm integration, but it only posts songs that you “love”.

I looked it up on Wikipedia nd it did say that. But I never heard her called that so I just went with the shorter version.

Also, for most of the show’s run she just wore a cleavage suit instead of a uniform, so she probably doesn’t deserve the respect of rank.

I still love that part of the episode where Picard is captured and the Enterprise gets a fill-in captain (not Riker) who is all like “what the hell are you wearing? Go put on a real uniform.”

You could remove Bay and Holiday and insert Sabathia and that's the same crap that ran last year.
"…this thing which tells time."
hell...
if we keep waiting for things to unfold, the only free agents that will be available are our own (garko, winn, aurilia, maybe even molina if he doesn’t back down from his contract demands)
I shudder to think what the press conference would be like with Sabes announcing brinGing back Winn, Garko, Aurilia and Molina.
“We did our due diligence and found that everything we wanted to do this offseason was right in what we had last season. It’s my pleasure to announce our offensive upgrades for the Giants. Bruce you have anything to add?”

2010 playoffs, here we come!
If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.
I’m not sure how you can’t know at least 4…

Kelly Johnson
Why would they have to move Sanchez to short if they signed Kelly Johnson? He can play left field and supposedly is very serviceable out there, and the Giants need outfielders and a leadoff guy? Seems like adding him to LF would make a ton of sense?
I hope I’m wrong, but sadly, I think the first big Giants signing will be Mark DeRosa to a 3 year deal. Sabean just loves those guys that can play multiple positions. I just don’t see how he helps the offense all that much. I think it’s safe to say that he hurt the Cards offense more than he helped them last year.

Kelly Johnson would be a pathetic hitter as a left fielder.

It’s because Johnson would be better than Renteria offensively (assuming two and three years ago were better predictors than last year), but not necessarily better than Bowker.
For not a hell of a lot of money (getting Willingham in a trade is the big question mark)
1) Kelly Johnson, 2B
2) Freddy Sanchez, SS
3) Panda, 3B
4) Josh Willingham, LF
5) Carlos Delgado, 1B
6) John Bowker, RF
7) Buster Posey, C
8) Nate Schierholz/Fred Lewis/overpaid gamer, CF
LOL ORIOLES
They signed Garrett Atkins…for $4.5 million.

At least it’s just 1 year. He’s just a placeholder, prospects Brandon Snyder and Josh Bell are close.
If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.
He’s also terrible, though.

johnson in left
He’d be more pathetic than Fred Lewis, Eugenio Velez and Andres Torress? Not a chance, he’s the same hitter whether he’s in left or 2nd base.

So much fail
1) +reply button
2) FRED LEWIS IS THE PROBLEM
3) Fred Lewis and Kelly Johnson have very similar career lines as hitters; Lewis was significantly better in 2009.
4) “Andres Torress”
5) “Not a chance, he’s the same hitter whether he’s in left or 2nd base.” Yeah, position has no influence on a player’s value!
6) LOL whoring your website
