Around SBN: SB Nation NFL Power Rankings for Week 11

Baggerly suggests these two may be on the radar. Given our need for power I would be ok with either, or both. Your thoughts?

I’d rather go after Alex Rios. Word is Blue Jays are looking to dump him and Wells to save up room to extend Doc Halladay.

Rios for Lincecum?

Giants would have lost 100 games last season and would be in last place this season if Sabean made that trade. The Giants would also have a new GM right now.

Wells for Rowand, Sanchez, & Valdez

DO NOT WANT

Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...

Admittedly, I am less down on Teahen though. He just isn’t a plus defender AND plus hitter at any position of need for us.

No and no

Dye is old and powerful, yes, but he’s not worth the price. And Teahen is not really that powerful- where’d you get that idea?

Oh, and to Hobbes? No on Randy Winn jr.

Seriously, standing pat looking better and better.

I didn’t think I wanted Rios either, but he had a 5.5 WAR last year.

by Hobbes2d on Jun 29, 2009 3:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t want Dye. I like Teahen, but he doesn’t seem like a good fit for the Giants.

Jermaine Dye

Would be a very nice addition to the team. Baggs make it sound like Lewis + second tier prospect gets it done – if so that is reasonable.

by wilriv21 on Jun 29, 2009 3:27 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Why not then….. Dye for Lewis + 2nd tier prospect! Depends on the 2nd tier prospect… but any pitcher not named madbum/alderson/Sosa/Wheeler seems expendable at this point to make a run at it.

I would take either I suppose. I wouldnt be happy about it, but I would scream and throw things at my Computer.

I don’t really want Dye for defensive reasons but man. The lineup sure would look a lot nicer with him in the middle of it (speaking purely offensively.)

He seems to be fielding better of late though… a few weeks ago, he was on pace for a -20 defensive season, now he’s down to -11.9. I hope they’d play him in LF and not RF though.

Absolutely

Schierholtz in RF and Dye then commands LF.

by wilriv21 on Jun 29, 2009 4:14 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Can he play 1st?

by Natto on Jun 29, 2009 4:27 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Only if he’s traded for Zito, He’s their albatross

Wells is quite possibly one of the worst players in the game. -1.3 WAR….

by Hobbes2d on Jun 29, 2009 4:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe if he came for free and the Jays paid most of his contract.

I wouldn't.

What are the Jay looking to get for Rios?

the article says Jays want to unload monies so they can turnaround and re-sign Doc Halladay

by wilriv21 on Jun 29, 2009 5:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I like Rios and think he is a Great buy low target.

We take his salary and they can have Sanchez and Fred Lewis.

do they really want to unload his salary that badly? wow his stock has sure fallen in the last 500 days.

Rios?

/drool

Yes, This is still a 79 win squad.
Fuggen Rox! You might want to try beating The Bums more than once in 10 games. Try it. You might find you like it.

by daveinexile on Jun 30, 2009 8:31 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe...depends on what we give up

I would be open to both. Both are northern california guys (Teahen went to St. Mary’s, Dye went to Will C. Wood HS and Consumnes River College in Sacramento) and I think both would rejuvenated to play here.

I like Dye for playoff and world series experience, while I think we would get more out of Teahen in the long run. That being said, I would want to see what we give up. I would want to be the ones getting too much in this kind of deal rather than giving up too much.

by objesguy on Jun 29, 2009 5:00 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

What would the lineup look like?

CF. R- Rowand
RF. L-Nate
3B. S- Panda
LF. R- Dye
1B. L- Bowker(hopefully)
C. R- Molina
2B. L- Teahen
SS. R- Renteria

Id take that in the playoffs with Tim, Johnson, Cain and Zito.

by kvdp12 on Jun 29, 2009 5:39 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

The INF defense on that squad. (/ shudders) We had better Teahen is much better at 2nd then I think he is.

Can Teahen really play second? I have a hard time believing that. If he’s supposed to play third for the GIants, forget it. That’s Panda country.

by Grant on Jun 29, 2009 9:25 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

He played 3 games as a 2B this season, which also happens to be the same amount of games he’s played as a 2B in his career.

by Natto on Jun 29, 2009 9:46 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Teahen

He’s been pretty bad at 3B, so I’m thinking he’ll be pretty bad at 2B.
