Future Free Agent Mistake Power Rankings
by Grant on Dec 3, 2009 3:35 PM PST
343 comments
The annual tradition is back for the first time! The Giants will certainly make a free agent mistake soon, and the following rankings are an attempt to determine which mistake is the likeliest. This is not for wagering purposes, though what I don't know doesn't hurt me.
And I'm not really in an especially bad or cynical mood today, but grumpy and cynical is all this idea seems to evoke....
- Jermaine Dye -- OF -- (No change)
Still the reigning champ. He's from the Bay Area, he's a veteran, he seems like a good player if you're only interested in HR and RBI, and the argument against him is based in advanced statistical measures. What's not for Sabean to like?
- Ivan Rodriguez -- C -- ↑
A true slugger and middle-of-the-order force! I'm sure that if he were to hit only for a mediocre batting average, there's no way he'd start over Posey, right? Right? He's a fast riser.
- Johnny Damon -- OF -- ↓
He's still a good hitter, so he might be the most palatable player on this list, but he's basically Fred Lewis with more power and better stage presence, so it'll be a shame to watch him get a 2/$24M contract and Lewis traded for a PTBNL.
- Xavier Nady -- OF -- ↑
Another guy with local ties, poor defense, and multiple warning signs. It's been a while since the Giants had a player they could call "X-Man." Dax Jones, we hardly knew ye.
- Rafael Betancourt -- RP -- ↑
He's only scary because he'd give the Giants' first-round pick to the Rockies. The Giants were linked to him based on quality fifth-hand information, so he's a fast riser.
- Miguel Tejada -- SS/3B -- ↓
If the idea were to sign the rangeless Tejada to a short-term deal to replace the rangeless Renteria, I'd be all for the move, especially if it came with a Nick Johnson signing. I'm pretty sure, though, the idea is to sign Tejada to a multi-year deal to play third while keeping Renteria right where he is. Fortunately, Extra Baggs doesn't think that Sabean has ever been interested.
- Jason Kendall -- C -- ↑
A fast riser because he'd play 150 games and lead off when Velez doesn't start. Bochy would lock himself in the bathroom and write Kendall's name onto a lineup card even during off days.
- Hank Blalock -- 3B? -- ↓
Clank whiff clank whiff whiff hack flail whiff clank double. He just might turn into the next George Brett, though, so I'm a holdin' onto his rookie cards just in case. Still, I haven't heard his name connected with the Giants much, so he's dropping like a stone. It's probably the left-handed thing that's scaring the Giants away, which is probably a legit thing to watch out for.
- Marlon Byrd -- OF -- ↓
Like Blalock, he hasn't come up much in recent Giants-related rumors, so he drops. It would be a perfect, perfect Sabean move though. There's no way Sabean would have given a 28-year-old Byrd a chance when the outfielder was free. That would be as crazy as...as...giving John Bowker a chance! Just nutty. Nope, Sabean prefers to wait until the free and available talent is established, on the decline, and expensive. And, saaaaay, is that a .329 on-base percentage? Hawt.
- Jason Bay -- OF -- ↓
The future DH is too expensive. Rumor has it he might even want Rowand money.
Comment starter: complaints about these rankings, or discussion about your favorite cocktails (recipes encouraged). Either way.

Yup
“I have to keep him playing, because if he starts managing, he’ll be better than me,” Garner laughed. “I have to keep him on the field.”
“Yeah, but if he keeps playing me more, he may end up losing his job anyway,” Ausmus responded.

Ausmus would be a good pickup IMO; he’s gonna be cheap, he can still hit a little bit, and I’m actually not worried about Bochy failing to play Posey at all. Okay, I’m a little worried. Maybe a lot worried. GOD DAMMIT BOCHY IS GOING TO PLAY GARKO OVER POSEY ISN’T HE?!?!?!?
Also, Betancourt should be off the list entirely, because we a) aren’t looking for relievers when we need hitting and a starter, and b) he’s a type-A who was offered arbitration, and Sabean has said we’re not giving up our 1st round pick.

I generally make Manhattans with rye. It’s got a bit more bite to it:
2 oz Rittenhouse 100 proof rye
1 oz Carpano Antica vermouth (ridiculously expensive, but soooo good)
2 d Angostura bitters
2 d orange bitters (Angostura or Regan’s) (optional)
1 d absinthe (optional)
That’s a pretty traditional recipe. Generally speaking, bourbon is sweeter than rye, so if I make a Manhattan with it I put half as much vermouth.

by tyrannoman on Dec 3, 2009 6:11 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Here’s the thing with vermouth: Most people have only had bad vermouth. Why? Because bars use very little of it, and they leave it out. It’s wine! If you leave it out for months on end, it oxidizes and tastes horrible.
So here’s my advice: Buy a new bottle of Dolin or Noilly Prat vermouth and taste a little of the new stuff compared to your old bottle. Then throw out the old bottle, and keep the new one in the fridge. Then you can make your martini with a civilized 3:1 ratio.

do you mean the technical definition of Microbrew? Anchor is a great beer, but it’s not a true Microbrew, hence the coining of the term “craftbrew” ment to describe all the microbrewerys that are successful enough to move into larger volumes.
by tyrannoman on Dec 4, 2009 10:55 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I wouldn’t call Anchor either a craft brew or a micro brew. However Blue Moon strikes me as large distribution beer companies trying to look smaller and of a higher quality than they really are, and using their distribution power muscling smaller craft and or mirco breweries out of the same space.
That being said I can’t stand most american made wheat beers, and fruit doesn’t belong in my beer unless it’s brewed with it (see lambis, ouid bruins, and flemmish reds)

totally agree with you on the fruit in the beer, though I don’t mind higher quality beers. I know a lot of them are from MolsonCoors, and InBev, but when you’re, say offhand, visiting family in Southeast Kansas it’s nice to have a break from Natty Light.
I just don’t care for wheat beers in general. My (pregnant) wife has a fridge full of Pyramid Hef that she can’t drink, and I refuse to. Hate the stuff.
I would call Anchor a craft brew, though. It’s a larger scale than it used to be, but it’s a very good beer brewed with traditional methods (rather than the Plywood Aging of Budwieser)

Grant gets the pulitzer
for making Damon seem like a good idea… compared to the first two horrors, if Fred brought someone who could play shortstop I think that would improve the roster. Then after Renteria tears a rotator cuff, gets run over by a train, and contracts Captain Trips and Botchy has to leave him out for a game, there will be someone on the roster who could play the position.
I am not actually advocating signing Damon, mind you, but him on the roster and a SS on the roster is better than Jermaine getting to load an armored car at the ballpark once a month tor the next 5 years.

7 & 7 is good, and I still drink rum and coke a lot (especially captain and coke), but another one I enjoy quite a bit is a greyhound, especially when made with fresh ruby red grapefruit juice. Also, I’ve dabbled in making carbonated greyhounds by mixing vodka with Squirt soda. That’s pretty damn good. In college my roommate and I used to make some concoction that had something like:
-coke
-southern comfort
-coconut rum
-splash of grenadine
I feel like there’s an ingredient missing from that list, but those were the basics. Anyway, sweet, but good.
Oh and I love white russians and during the holidays my brother and I always play around with different recipes such as:
-hot chocolate white russian
-egg nog white russian
the latter of which will probably kill you but damn they’re good.

I live in Chico, and there’s a bar that sells every type of Sierra Nevada on tap for $5 a pitcher on Thursdays. So that’s my plan for the evening.
For some reason, Johnny Damon doesn’t seem like such a bad option to me; even if his power diminishes a little, he’d still give quality ab’s from the leadoff spot and put up a decent OBP. Plus he’s got all that gamery veteran gobbledegoop. Ya’lls will think I’m crazy, but IMO Damon (at the right price) plus a trade for Uggla (at the right price…) is kinda what I’m hoping for this offseason.

I bought this toothpaste that was vanilla-mint flavored and it was really good. So I tried to make it into a drink. I thought maybe a cream drink would be good so I tried:
-vanilla vodka
-creme de menthe
-creme (or milk)
it was too… chemical tasting.
So then I think I tried it again with peppermint schnapps, but it still wasn’t very good. I still like the idea of a vanilla mint cocktail, but maybe I need to get away from the creme base. Could it work like this:
-vanilla vodka
-peppermint schnapps
-club soda

Ausmus caught for the original Dartmouth baseball team.
Back in 1869, but he would not be the first player out of dartmouth to become a giant. Seems Ausmust could hit 198, but he would hit 400 vs the giants. If posey is not ready, then he should have offered Bengie arbitration. Worst would have been 8 or 9 mil for one year and then gone. I would have suggested a running coach, maybe they could put some flubber in his shoes.
