Around SBN: Dog Football! Which Breeds Are Best Suited For The Gridiron?

Open Gameday Thread 3/28

There are two types of people in this world now: people who are convinced that Desi Relaford was the missing piece to a championship team, and those who are convinced that Ronny Paulino was the missing piece to a championship team. Choose wisely, as you'll never be able to switch back.

and gms

are always honest about everything, amirite?

And where’s this article with opinions from all 29 other gms? I’d like to see it.

Also, Furcal signed for 3/30, and he’s been about the same as renteria with the bat over his career, and more injury prone.

supply/demand Furcal got more because he was wanted. Do not have ALL 29 GM story but go back and you can see stories where GMs are shocked at this signing and then read the national columnist reports about how the baseball industry thought of the signing. The might have like the two years but not the monies

by wilriv21 on Mar 28, 2009 2:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

from the Fangraphs story on the signing
However, even if we project him as a -10 run defender at shortstop in 2009, his league average offense still makes him a +2 win player compared to a replacement level shortstop. Given a rumored price of $9 million per year for two years, the Giants are essentially paying $4.5 million per win on a short term deal, which is about what free agents were going for last winter.

For San Francisco, this isn’t a bad deal – they get a guy who should rebound and re-establish some value without any long term risk, and they fill a hole with an average player while waiting for the kids to develop.

Hardly sounds like a “vintage sabean overpay”

by Viliphied on Mar 28, 2009 2:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

While the key point on that is “last winter” When the Giants signed him that was still the value of this offseason.

How do we know? we never will. Compare him to Rafael Furcal who got 3/30 or 4/42 and Edgar Renteria who got 2/18.5 or 3/28.5. Take their last three years and how much they were worth during it:

Furcal: $29.5MM
Renteria: $37.4MM

Comparing the two, I’d rather have Renteria.

a vintage sabean overpay

would have been 4/32 or thereabouts, not 2/18. Let’s say other gms would have signed him for 2/12, so we would have had to go to at least 2/13. We have NO other options at SS, except for Burriss, and I’m OK with Sabean not gifting the starting ML SS job to a guy who just last year couldn’t hit at high A.

So let’s say Sabean signs him for 2/13. We have an extra 5m, what exactly does that get us this year and next?

He was worth the overpay.

by Viliphied on Mar 28, 2009 2:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think the mistake of the signing would be Burriss now starting at 2B. Renteria allowed the Giants to give Burriss some more time in AAA.

Villy, if GM my first priority is pitching. Next is defense up the middle. A defensive minded SS who can him some is important to team success. I like Izturis, Aybar or Wood.

Unless the Giants’ somehow make it through the season without an injury to anyone in the rotation, Pucetas has a real shot at getting the first call. He should be thinking in his mind that the score is 0-0. He’s not going to impress with a 9-7 victory.

No he isn't..

But if he’d gone 6 innings allowing 3-4 runs on solo shots and things like a double then a double then shut it down I’d agree with how he’d pitched the game. Even if he’d given up a lot of hard hit balls for outs, if he were just pitching to get outs then that is a strategy.

Do you think Lincecum pitched in the minor league game today at the request of Adrian Gonzalez?

Think Hinshaw should toe the rubber in the minors until he can get guys out.

Were this a regular season game…it would definitely be a drinking night.

I missed the game. Looking at the box score, Merkin Valdez did pretty well. Is it foolish to believe in him?

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

Man, I really wish this would have been on the tube. My Dirtbag buddy pitched for the padres after Chris Young was taken out. We he’s on the active roster so maybe he’ll get some innings in this year against the Giants. He was the Saturday guy after Weaver would pitch Friday nights.
