Around SBN: Jim Irsay: We Can Make It Work With Peyton Manning

Open Massive Stupid Trade/Rumor Dump + Discussion

With the upcoming Trade Deadline looming this Friday, I figure that we'll see more and more trades, rumors, and other bits of information. With that in mind, I thought it would be helpful to compile all of the separate rumors and speculation into one large thread. This way, we won't have 100 RYAN GARKO threads or 100 OMG HEYMAN TWITTER UPDATE threads. And, it's a good place to consolidate a bunch of the trade deadline discussion.

Star-divide

Maybe get this thing going, and rec it so that it goes to the top? Sound like a good idea? If not, mods nuke this post. Or, maybe it an open make fun of xanthan thread (I hear he lives in a basement).

Some Giants-related rumors from today, Tuesday July 28, 2009:

Giants "seriously looking" at Freddy Sanchez @ Heyman Tweet:

#giants trade talk for freddy sanchez seems pretty serious. #pirates scouring giants' well-stocked system.

Giants NOT interested in Roy Halladay @ Mercury News - Baggs

"We don't want to deplete our assets when there's another route we need to go," Sabean said. "Simply put, (Jonathan) Sanchez and Sadowski have to step up. Each day Randy doesn't pick up a baseball, the longer it looks like he won't be back any time soon. We should have a lot more information on him in a couple of days."

Giants trade for Garko @ SFGate.com - David White

"You don't acquire a player like this to sit him," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's a veteran, proven hitter who's going to provide some punch. You get a bat like this, it makes us a better lineup."

I’ll be pretty surprised if we don’t end up with Sanchez.

The question is how much it’ll cost. If the Giants end up picking up the whole salary, it could be pretty damn cheap.

he has an option that vest after something like 600 plate appearances that he will likely get. when it does, he’s owed about $8M next year. then he’s a FA. whether he’s a type A or B at that time will depend on what he does next year.

He got scratched yesterday from the lineup.

Per Rotoworld:

Freddy Sanchez was scratched from Monday’s starting lineup with lingering tenderness in his left knee.

Sanchez suffered the injury before the weekend. If the second baseman requires a stint on the disabled list, his $8.1 million vesting option for 2010 might not go into effect. He needs 600 plate appearances to trigger it.

So, he’s had back AND knee problems this season.

From Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Chu


Frank Chu holds Bill Clinton responsible for directing the CIA to withhold payment to him for being the star of something called “The Richest Family” during the presidency of George H.W. Bush. His protests frequently called for the impeachment of Clinton even after Clinton was no longer in office. Bill Clinton and various other US presidents are frequently accused by Chu of cooperating with the 12 Galaxies to commit crimes and treasons. Chu is strongly interested in television reporters and newscasters, who will bring him the publicity he requires to inform the world of the injustices committed against him. He hopes that this wave of publicity will cause a public outcry, which will result in the impeachment of various US presidents and the awarding of “$20 billions” in compensation for the damages he and his family have suffered. Another source says:" Frank believes that he and his family have been filmed for years now without their knowledge and the show has aired as “The Richest Family”. He found out that he was a star (and appeared on the cover of Newsweek, Time, etc.) because California Correctional Officers who were really movie stars who were really KGB agents told him—-through ESP. In fact, nearly all the movie stars have ESP. Frank is not from another galaxy and never contends [sic] to be. He hasn’t even visited them. He is aware of them (possibly) through ESP being sent to him by Soviet ex-presidents (alive and dead/resurrected) and KGB agents. Clinton, Hillary, and even Chelsea are “guiltied” of being in collusion with the first 12 galaxies away from our galaxy, while Frank is being aided by the Zegnotronic (120 galaxies away)9 "

Max Flack and Cliff Heathcote are the only players to play for both teams in a doubleheader, having been traded by the Cubs and Cardinals, respectively, between games on May 30, 1922.

The Mets in 1979, traded for Jose Cardenal in between games of a doubleheader. Cardenal crossed the hall and dressed — but did not play — for the Mets in the second game. “A couple of Mets players, John Stearns and a few guys, were saying, ‘What are you doing here? Wrong clubhouse!’” Mets manager Joe Torre was going to play Cardenal, who asked out of the lineup. “I could not do it. I was in shock.”

There was also a player back in the 80s or 70s who was traded after a day game, travelled to his new team, and played a night game with them. I want to say it was Joel Youngblood but I heard the story second-hand many years ago so I really don’t know.

Baggs update
Another busy day. Nate Schierholtz is out at least 6-8 days because of a strained left hip and some internal bleeding, so he goes to the DL to make room for Ryan Garko.

Discouraging news on the Big Unit. The MRI showed some tearing, according to Bruce Bochy. He will not pick up a baseball for at least three weeks, but Bochy said he is motivated to return and contribute down the stretch. He us 45, though.

Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson both not in the Pirates lineup. Stay tuned.

Incidentally, it sure doesn’t look like another Giants trade is imminent. GM Brian Sabean and three of his associates, Bobby Evans, Dick Tidrow and John Barr, are relaxing in the stands watching batting practice. Probably a good idea to get some fresh air after being hunkered in an office all day and night working the phones.

OK, but how is his knee?

I wonder if the Giants have any free knee caps left from that promotion they had awhile back?

by Merope on Jul 28, 2009 5:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

A mathematical model is formulated for the partial evacuation of viscous fluid from a rectangular cavity by the action of a passing meniscus. This time-dependent free surface problem is of direct relevance to the direct gravure coating process. Evacuation from a rectangular cavity is considered by taking account of the motion of the dynamic contact line down a vertical side wall. A two-dimensional solution is obtained using a Lagrangian finite element method, and results reveal the effects due to cavity aspect ratio and fluid properties. It is concluded that the fraction of fluid evacuated increases as (i) the cavity aspect ratio (cavity width) increases and (ii) the Capillary number decreases––though for cavities with a larger aspect ratio evacuation is independent of Capillary number.

As a chemical engineer, I can help him with this type of problem.

To be fair, when making a catch like the one Velez made in the outfield late in the game yesterday, if the ball is low and not coming directly at you have a better chance or catching it by laying out than you do bending over. So even if the dive looked gratuitous, he was simply increasing his probability of catching the ball.

Since this thread is already out of control, I guess we can talk about how MadBum only went 1.2 innings today. Although Wendell Fairley homered. and TJ Brewer is due to start for the little Giants tonight while Bowker’s at 1B here in Fresno.

Basically, we may or may not get Sanchez, due to his injury. More interestingly, Baggs says that he believes that Sabean’s white whale is Dan Uggla, but the 4-games-over .500 Marlins don’t want to give him up.
