Giants Interested in Adam LaRoche
Considering what the Pirates were willing to accept in the McClouth trade, this could be a really good fit for us.
Long term, we could sign him to a reasonable extension, or offer him arbitration and likely get at least a sandwich pick.

I’d be ok with this.
Quick and dirty bb-ref stat neutralization to AT&T Park and his line goes up to: .269/.372/.489, if that makes any sense.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
I'll take it!
he’s about average defensively, if anyone cares.
Is that according to fangraphs? BPro has him at about average.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...

Plus there’s the whole OMGSECONDHALFBBQ thing he does every year.

Wrong Laroche
The article mentions Andy not Adam
The problem with getting a first baseman
If Pablo’s elbow flares up again, we’re screwed.
We should be looking for a third baseman.
Flaxseed oil dependent
You mean Adam.

I'll take me some Freddy Sanchez!
If it’s a Pittsburgh firesale lets get someone who fills our most glaring need. Sanchez would be perfect and he is owed 6.1M in ’09 with an 8M option for ’10. That seems awfully rich for Pittsburgh.
A deal for both of them could help fill a lot of our offensive holes. I wonder how much the Pirates would want though.

That’d make us a really weird team. If Renteria hit a little better, and Sandoval hit a little worse, you’d have the ultimate steady, boring, unspectacular team.

Freddy Sanchez has an OPS of .845 and has made 1 error this year! I’d say short of a Chase Utley or Ian Kinsler there isn’t a better young second baseman out there. Nothing unspectacular about that.
I was more looking at his entire body of work, but who knows, maybe he’s having a huge year.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
Sanchez is a good player, but he’s not really the kind of player we should be targeting, unless we’re getting him with a LaRoche.

the Pirates got a lot more for Nate McLouth than you seem to think

If I were Frank Wren, I would have made the deal as well.

I wouldn’t have, but that is neither here nor there. The point is; that McLouth trade is not indicative that the Pirates are going to let themselves be ripped off in trades.

I agree
Based on BA’s Top 10 Braves Prospects for 2009:
- Gorky’s Hernandez
- John Locke
and Charlie Morton is a projected 5th starter.

As was noted ad nausem, he was probably talking about Adam.
