Nooooooo!!!!
Me and the other fat kids we’re hoping that the cool kids would overlook some adoptees. You went and ruined it!
4 out of 5 doctors agree Rosterbation can cause blindness and delusions of grandeur.
Thanks, nice work.
I also linked to all of last year’s minor league teams to pick out those Scott McClains of the world.

"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."
Kevin Frandsen should be with the big team.
I'm thinking your safe.
Catcher are base running. Hitters are offense.
Only [hella] games left until the end of Zito's contract.
..and this 10 is for the World San Francisco fans Classic.
Oh geez
I swore I would never make the your/you’re mistake!!!!!!

Talk to the Walrus.
I just wanted to put it into an easier format to read for myself, and thought it might help others too. WalrusMan is the official draft arr-biter.
Anyway, my point is that
This isn't the offical draft thread...get with the times Delorean...Geez

I think you forgot AnVil on that list somewhere.

I was looking for Villalona, but I guess I must’ve missed it when I was going through the list.

the Padres are considered “other?”

I thought about the heading "Ex-Giants"...
…but I figured “other” left it open to anyone who wanted to adopt Lou Seal, Steve Kline’s chest hair, the Sheboygan Brat, or whatever.
Anyway, my point is that
I’m hoping Bocock last long enough for me to have a chance at him, but I really don’t think Bocock will fall far enough.
Wait. What?
So you’re hoping Bocock lasts long enough so you can to take him deep…into the draft.
My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman
I think what he’s trying to say is that he’s got a hard on for Bocock.
I'm missing Omar and all his "Dreamy-ness".

So this is where we adopt board members?

A Sheyboygan with kraut and a malty neverage of your choice?

jcb9 is my agent
You’ll have to negotiate with him. Try not to make him mad.
Anyway, my point is that
I say we just stick vic with Matt Palmer or someone great like that and move on.

He's still eligible for adoption.
They don’t have to be on this list – it’s for convenience only. You can adopt anyone connected to the Giants organization.
Anyway, my point is that
yeah
like you could adopt the new green garlic fries stand
Still defending Rich Aurilia, and the Niners' classic unis
Thanks!!!

OT - but speaking of kids?
Does anyone know how old a child can be before he/she is required to have a ticket to enter Mays Field?

Two. But we brought our son in a couple of months after his second birthday without a ticket and nobody blinked – and he’s really big for his age. So I don’t think they’re super-strict on enforcement.

My pick wasn't even on my board
As I watched the folks who were fall one by one (yes, somehow I thought Villalona would make it to me), I realized that I have tended to always defend Brian Wilson anyway. I’ve always been a sucker for that crazy heater.

I was going to take Merkin but I knew in this tough economy I wouldn’t be able to afford all the medical bills. I went with Edgar because he answers the bell every day.

Meet my new son: Sundrendy Windster, coming soon to a minor league near you.
Commitment-phobe!
Adopting a player in the final year of his contract is liking marrying someone with six months to live.

Am wondering
am I totally lame for taking Pablo? Cuz I really like him but it seems sorta obvious to take him.

You actually have to carry the torch of unrealistic expectations, so he isn’t really the easiest son to have.

Speaking of Pujols
New sig test.

Proud father of Juan Carlos Perez. Think Albert Pujols in the outfield.
Excellent
Over the top? Nah.
Naturally, since I adopted him, he’s already seriously injured:
Mas Notas: Juan Carlos Perez, 13th rounder from this year’s draft, recently tore his ACL during a practice. He will not begin running until January.
That happened back in August apparently. My previous adoptee, David Quinowski, had major shoulder issues after I adopted him and hasn’t pitched since 2007. I should have adopted Zito for the good of the team.

Outstanding. (and spelled correctly to boot!)
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
Don’t worry, you can still draft Manny Mateo.

Henry Sosa
EliminateMe, I think the “H. Sosa” (of raisingcain parentage) in your prospects list is the same “Sosa” that also appears (orphaned still) in your 40-man list. The 40-man is his (and raisingcain’s) rightful place.
I think PacBellBoozer is going to draft a beer stand employee.

I will go go back to my usual non-participatory absentee landlord status.
Thank you for your time….
(Unless this not how we are doing this thing, in that case-never mind)
No you’ll have to get on the draft board. You’ll be at the bottom, but you’ll get a chance to get a Giant.
