Thought it would be a good idea to make a post to try and condense all information pertaining to the Winter meetings. So any rumors or tweets worthy of posting can go right here along with any predictions or events people have for these meetings. Hopefully Giants come out of these meetings a better team but I for one am not getting my hopes up for anything spectacular to be done by the Giants. Ginats Brazz!!!1

Yeah
He seems committed to improvement, but what he’s going to give up is the nervous thing.
If we leave these meetings minus FLew and low level prospects but with one Uggla, I will be one happy camper.
Desirous of Matt Holliday and Dan Uggla since 2009.
Yeah that would be great
I know the Marlins need a yong catcher after Kyle Skipworth struggled mightily in low a. If Sabes pulls off a Johnny Monell and Fred Lewis for Uggla I will almost have confidence in him again
more like
Buster Posey and Fred Lewis
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
everything I read about the Marlins say that they’re asking way too much for Uggla. Maybe it’s just me or more likely Sabean being full of it, but doesn’t it always seem like everyone wants Posey and Bumgarner from the Giants, but will settle for a bag of balls from everyone else?

I think the Giants will do something this week. I’m not sure what though. I imagine they’ll add a catcher relatively soon.

I think the Uggla trade is going down. I have no idea who we’ll have to give up and whether that will be too much, but I think it’s going to happen. Rumor has it that the Marlins are starting to get serious about getting something done, and I don’t see any other franchise out there with as much motivation to be a part of that as the Giants.

God forbid
if they DID trade Bumgarner or even Jonathan Sanchez for Uggla they would also have to spend the money on a free agent starter to replace the one they traded, so I think a trade like this would be cost prohibitive. You have to pay Uggla, then you have to pay the replacement as well. I don’t see this happening.

If we trade away Thomas Neal, I may give up being a Giants fan entirely. And that is not hyperbole. There’s no way you can guarantee that Neal will become a star, but he’s exactly the kind of player we haven’t drafted for two freaking decades, and now that we have one, if we trade him for a mere Dan Uggla….

Latest rumors that I have heard
-Sabes personal assistant was seen buying some beers at a local Indianapolis store. This is a big week for Brian and the man probably needs a beer to calm down. Git R Done Sabes!
-Sabes was seen at the hotel bar at 2 am last night discussing financial offers with “Vixen” and “Bambi”. I don’t know what players they represent but they are some attractive agents. Bambi was overheard saying “Brian, that kind of offer is not going to get what you want from me. You are going to have to pay through the nose to go down that road.” Looks like Sabes is playing hardball!
-At 4:30 AM Sabes’ suite contacted the hotel staff for room service. The request? 3 pizzas and 6 cheeseburgers….The man has already worked up quite an appetite. Sabes must be really getting after it!
-At 6:30 AM Vixen was seen leaving Sabes’ room counting a large stack of cash. Was a deal completed? We will let you know when we hear something, but it looks like something is brewing!
-At 7:15 AM Sabes called his personal assistant to tell him he had a long night and wouldn’t be available until 3 or 4 pm. Got to love Sabes. Pulls an all nighter his first night in town!!! The guy has to sleep sometime!

acceptable.
It’s a pretty good beer that’s usually on tap at places that have nothing but crap.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
Sweet, then i’ll probably have to try that sometime when i’m back out west. Lately here in Ohio i’ve been trying a ton of the winter ales, and they are very good
I hate that beer because its a beer who people who don’t like good beer think is a good beer

I agree
It’s not a good beer, it’s an okay beer.
Adopted brother of Jason Jarvis. To pass the time during the offseason I decided to try my hand at blogging about photography and music.
Yeah, exactly. Luckily in SF we generally have better options. I am a fan of the canned beers though and am glad they are participating. Other good canned breweries:
Oscar Blues
21st Amendment
Maui Brewing Co.

also terrible.

And you didn’t say good for a brewery, you said good. I would say 21a is about normal for a brewery, just not good in general, especially for the price point

ah 21st Amendment. I’ve heard good things.
I still haven’t really found the brewery for me in the East Bay.

Jupiter in Berkley has good beer and good pizza. The bistro in Hayward is a great place to get local micro brews, but isn’t a brewery. There is a brewery down the street in hayward too, but I can’t remember the name.

Ohhh, i’m in Ohio now, but back in SF, i go to Zacharies, or Patxis for deep dish, but for just regular pizza, i like Amicis, anybody else got any suggestions? But yea, i agree on the cheap part, if it is cheap it’s probably shit… Every town has a few places that are pretty darn good, like here in Ohio, Larosas isn’t bad… but i’m not a big fan of chain pizza places

Brian please hit up Dayton Moore and see how much it would cost to get David DeJesus. Royals are shopping him and he’s really not that expensive salary wise. Plays great D, and has a decent OBP. While we’re at it, maybe we can fleece Alberto Callaspo from them too. Offer them Freddy Sanchez. Dayton probably loves gamers too who have been “all-stars”.
Isn’t Freddy Sanchez untradeable until July 31st, or does that not hold when you re-sign your own free agent?
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
I don't think he ever was a free agent
He never filed for free agency, and the contract was an extension of his current contract.
Meet my new son: Sundrendy Windster, on the Curacao-SF express (via Arizona).
I’d be cool with this. DeJesus is underrated in a Randy Winn sort of way (when he was good).

I don't get it
The only thing that seems to be fueling this rumor is the fact that Hoyer came from the Sawx org, and BoSox fan seems to think that means this trade is a given.
The Padres do have a nice 1B prospect in Portland however, who I watched play one night in Sac this year, dude can rake. This is the only thing that seems to be in favor of a Gonzo trade.
But, the Padres had a nice 2nd half in ‘09 and have to feel that they will be ready to compete, especially with the nice pitching they picked up in the Peavy deal. Plus, Gonzo is the franchise now so if they are sweating payroll, trading the face of the team will not do very well for ticket sales. I just don’t see it happening.
weird.
Burrell has the skillset of an old player. I wouldn’t be surprised if he were done.

Updating a previous report, two Mets officials told Joel Sherman of the New York Post that there is nothing to a PhillyBurbs report claiming that Rays outfielder-designated hitter Pat Burrell was traded to the Mets.
Welcome to silly season. The Mets, Rays and Cubs have been linked in a potential three-way deal involving Burrell, Milton Bradley and Luis Castillo, but there is nothing to suggest a deal is close. Dec. 7 – 12:04 pm et

Yeah hes one of the most underrated players in the game IMO
2 years ago he had 20+ SB’s, 2B’s, 3B’s and HR’s
sure, but
“better than who we’ve got” is not the way I want to describe a guy we’d trade MadBum for.
Career splits vs lefties-
Eugenio Velez-.214/.281/.256
Granderson- .210/.270/.344
Sure the power and D make Granderson’s line a whole lot easier to stomach than Velez, but if I had my choice I wouldn’t want either one of them facing lefty pitching. I’ll pass on trading Bumgarner+ at least one more good prospect for a guy who hits like a platoon player.
Thing A
As per ESPN...that is a steep price.
Nick Pietruszkiewicz:
From Peter Gammons: To get Curtis Granderson, the Tigers asked the Cubs for Starlin Castro and two prospects. The Cubs considered that to be too high a price.

If the Giants could leave the winter meetings with Correia and Rivera I would be happy/ Then wait for Tampa to non-tender one of their catchers
Yeah the non tender market could be great
If we could Correia, Navarro/Shoppach, and maybe even Garrett Atkins if the cost is right. He could lower the value for Uggla and if we do get Uggla, Atkins can be a backup
If the Padres non-tender him, it will likely be because he won’t take a cheap contract and would go to abritration, where I’m sure he’d get overpaid. If he won’t take a cheap contract, the Giants shouldn’t be interested either, Petco mirages notwithstanding.
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?
From the Chronicle:
Martin Arburua, Olivo’s agent, said he already spoke with the Giants and will chat again.

I think I read that Washington doesn’t want to trade him but people keep asking.

I’m sure they would take a Matt Cain type in exchange

Adrian Gonzalez
Is there a trade to be made by Sabean that could net the Giants AGon?
Bumgarner/Neal/Crawford/Lewis?
Does an inter-division trade like THIS happen? I don’t envision the Padres being game to make a deal with teh hated Giants.
It can happen
The Jays are open to trading Halladay to the Yankees so anyting is possible. However be that as it may, there is usually a premium when dealing within thr division.

Intra-divisional

I don't think there's a name on the roster
that would make me hang up the phone immediately. Those four are a lot, but maybe there’s a throw-in from SD too?
I don’t think this is going to happen either, but I prefer total rosterbation fantasy to thinking about looking at “4. Dye” on the lineup card every day this summer.

I’m sure we could make a trade that would be enough but it’d be pretty huge, especially given other parties would be interested and us being in the same division. That might tempt them, depending on how they like the specific pieces but it’d have to be something of that order or greater i’d imagine. As much as i’d like to have Gonzalez i just can’t see it happening.

The Mets have already signed free agent catcher Chris Coste, and they may not be done yet.
New York is stepping up its pursuit of free-agent Bengie Molina, who reportedly is seeking a multi-year deal that would average around $7 million annually. The Giants and Seattle have expressed interest, but both teams are reluctant to guarantee more than one year. — Tracy Ringolsby
I’m confused as to why any team would want to pay him $7M a year when the other catchers (who aren’t a whole lot worse than him) are all signing for less than $2M

yet, that is the demand

Bengie’s hungry.
Matt Cain: throwing complete game shutouts since 06'. No big deal.

correction
his agent isn’t Boras but it sure sounds like a good impression of him.

Just give him some Bennigan’s coupons and call it a deal

I Can't Stop Dreaming About Adrian Gonzalez ... Again
damn you john shea
... null, void, invalid, iniquitous, unjust, damnable, reprobate, inane, empty of meaning and effect for all time
From MLBTR:
Penny is all but dead and gone to STL, money in place and just needs a physical.
Nick Johnson has 7 suitors, half of which don’t sound right (Yankees, Red Sox, and Seattle)
Seattle is doing its best Paris Hilton and Red Sox impression and is being linked to every FA
RIP PENNY

Nick Johnson
What’s the hold up with his 2 yr contract request? It not like we have someone ready to replace him.
i think it's 2 years
for a guy that has injury risk. If it were me id give him a mutual option like Varitek’s old one. Something like 6 mil then a mutual option of 7 mil (club) and 5 mil (player)
Also
Chien-Ming Wang for the back end of the rotation?
Anyone?
Only if we can't get Johnson
After Bocock and Randy, the dick jokes lobby must be satisfied.

He won't be ready until after May apparently.
So consider him a lock for July

Always a place for a cheap Wang, eh?

I think we should move the conversations there.
