The Phils signing Polanco sure seems to take them out of the Adrian Beltre race, eh?
SWOOP, Sabes, SWOOP.

Did you see the report that Beltre’s asking price is >$10mil/year? I have a feeling it was a phone call to Beltre’s agent that maybe took the Phils out of the Beltre race, and if that’s really their starting point for negotiations I’m not sure I want us to be in that race either.
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.
3yrs/18 seems pretty pricey for Polanco at his age.
You want to see a walk? Then go watch the mailman.
Especially when you are asking him to change positions.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
some people said the Ibanez signing was the worst of the offseason last year. That turned out pretty good for them. Hard to argue with the success the Phillies have had the last few years. I’d certainly rather have Polanco then Pedro Feliz, and it looks like Boras priced Beltre out of a natural fit there. I wouldn’t like the signing for the Giants, but on the Phillies he’ll be excellent at the bottom of their lineup.
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
We traded Alderson for Garko
Yet Jake Fox could be had for 3 filler prospects. Fox is under team control for 4 yrs. 2 yrs before arbitration. Garko will make around 3 million in 2010.
Add in that Fox can play multiple positions (not great but maybe serviceable) at catcher, 1b, 3b, and the OF. Why wasnt Sabean attempting to get Fox?
Jake Fox is a terrible defender. He doesn’t play any position well. Thats part of the reason he is in the AL now, he will probably be mostly a DH or LF.

"We traded Alderson for Garko"
I guess all those Giants’ fans crying over losing Scott Barnes have forgotten about him already.

“We traded Alderson for Garko” will go down in history like “We can put a man on the moon but…”
People will say this every time someone is traded.
WHY IS BOCOCK?!

if we had traded Barnes for Albert Pujols, it still becomes a bad trade if Bochy never plays Pujols and the Giants’ cut him loose at the end of the season. Wherever Garko winds up next season, (assuming the Giants don’t offer him arbitration) would anybody by surprised if he has a better year than whoever they sign to play first base?

Or
We traded Alderson for Garko Sanchez (the one who didn’t throw the no-no)
If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.
maybe barnes is the son of an alder, therefore it is an epithet and not a name. anyone?

I always get irrationally worked up when I see somebody quote this, because there are so many people who only know it from Super Troopers.
I don't know about that, to the groin.

Sadly, this is not the case.

Zaun signs with Brewers, Figgins about to sign with the Mariners
Four years 36 million for Figgins. I think this signing will get the ball rolling.
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
Really curious as to how the Mariners think Figgins is a good idea for them. Seems like they’d benefit a lot more from trying to go after Bay or Holliday to add some dingerz to their lineup.
the latest is that they’re not going to follow through if Beltre decides to accept arbitration on Monday. Pretty short sighted of them to offer Beltre arbitration if this is the case. Did they not know they wanted to sign Figgins last week?

didn't seattle have the best defense in baseball last year?
if this is the philosophy there, i can see wht they wanted figgins.
Surely they can keep the defense intact without paying a huge amount. Seems to me they could have gone after Holliday with all that money and signed someone else to play 3rd could could still contribute a bit offensively and be a premium defender.
lots of rumors
that seattle may still be in on bay.
