Post-Game Recap: Giants Sweep the Pirates
by Grant on Jul 29, 2009 3:40 PM PDT
543 comments
In a game that both the Giants and Pirates played without Freddy Sanchez, the Giants won on a 10th-inning single from Randy Winn. The winning run was scored by Eugenio Velez, not Freddy Sanchez, which makes sense as Sanchez isn't even on the Giants. Yet. The single from Winn went down the first base line, close to where Sanchez would have been playing if he were in the lineup, which he wasn't, and might not ever be again, but that's just pure speculation, though I heard that a writer from Giants magazine wrote that the deal was guaranteed to happen in the next two hours unless there's a problem with the salary, knee injury, or prospects the Giants are willing to give up
Update - (7/28 @ 3:33) - Freddy Sanchez was not in the starting lineup today
Also of note: Matt Cain is good. Though he was mentioned in the same post as Freddy Sanchez in one of the twelve most trafficked Giants blogs after today's game, so there's a chance Cain might be moved for Freddy Sanchez, who is not on the Giants yet, though once he receives a replacement knee from a cadaver, he could be traded imminently once the series ends.

Someone asked how many pitches Zito had thrown, and about 20 people all at once replied 109.

TRADING TIM ALDERSON IS NOT THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD
We have Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum, both whom will be Giants for a long time. Kevin Pucetas and Madbum will be in the majors soon enough. Four great starting pitchers is pretty fucking savvy, but without any offense, they are essentially useless.
If the trade IS for Alderson, don’t flip the fuck out, it could in all honesty be worse! We are getting a career .300 hitter over here, HOW MANY CAREER .300 HITTERS DO THE GIANTS HAVE?

I'm not too worked up about it.
Alderson is a good prospect but not amazing. I thought he was overrated last year and considered him more of a top 100 prospect than a top 50. I hope that this means the Pirates are eating some salary. If they aren’t then I’ve got my burnin’ tools ready.
Two top prospects for a guy who will platoon and a guy with a bad knee.

Garko won’t be platooning.
And the guy with a bad knee also has a bad back, but he’s an All-Star 2b with a good bat and plays good D. He’s also going to be here for next year and likely will end up a Type A FA if he doesn’t want to stick around. It was inevitable Alderson was going to be traded for a bat in my mind, I just wish it had been for Willingham, but knowing how crazy the Nats are they probably wanted a lot more for him….
I don’t understand something… Why would Sabs trade Alderson instead of Bowker, Frandsen, and Guzman, who have thus far proved to be essentially useless.

Freddy Sanchez had an OPS+ of 79 last year, is 31, and has back and knee problems.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
So...
Everyone is freaking out. This makes me sad.
We now have a legitimate second basemen. We still have a shitty SS and no power, but we don’t really have any gaping holes in the lineup any more. I will say I wish that Tim2 had been used to get something a bit more valuable than an oft injured second basemen with middling power. But what’s done is done.

This is what we traded:

Good control, okay K rates that likely won’t go up. When I look at these stats I see someone who may become a good middle rotation starter. I don’t see an ace in any way.
If he isn’t ace material then why is everyone freaking out?

Then why would he want an extension with the Pirates at the last minute?
by SoFa King Mike on Jul 29, 2009 4:14 PM PDT up reply actions
I assume it’s because they’ve been negotiating contracts for the last month and the Pirates wanted to hear his counteroffer before they decided.
by RougeGorrila on Jul 29, 2009 4:15 PM PDT up reply actions
An average starter under control is very valuable for a franchise. However, if Pittsburgh is picking up most the salaray, and we spend it on signing prospects, then I’m fine with the deal
For a year and two months? At that salary? He’s likely to improve this team by just a few wins, and a much higher cost. I would rather have the 6 years of cheap control of a pitcher.
However, like I said above, if Pittsburgh is picking up a big chunk of the salary, and we invest it back in the farm, I’m OK with this deal. I imagine they picked up a lot. Lets see
looking at Freddy’s number kind of made my face twitch a little bit.

Is Alderson that good? Don't we still have MadBum and a couple good pitching prospects?
I guess I am a lot less patient and want to see the Giants capitlaize on what they have going NOW, there are too many variables to wait for coming years. This is a team that I can see making noise in the playoffs this year, and I think we have enought offense to actually make it now. Still not a lot of power, but we probably won’t strand quite as many.
we are contenders

sigh
Yes, Sanchez is at least an average 2B. Yes, we have a lot of pitching prospects left. Yes, we need to trade talent to get talent. You guys can try to rationalize this all you want, but…
1) considering how much value is being given across the league to prospects, it seems like we could have gotten a lot more from Alderson
2) considering Sanchez is overpaid, oft-injured, and already in his early 30’s, it seems like he could have been had for lesser prospects

Well, if it is indeed Alderson that we traded for Sanchez…A part of me is hoping for a career-ending injury for Alderson… That or a Liriano-esque career.

No more Tim2, =(
I guess drafting Wheeler in the 1st round made Alderson expandable and the fact that Lincecum, Cain, Zito and MadBum has the 4 starting spots locked down for a while plus the original Dirty Sanchez. Also, I bet the Bucs’ GM probably used the Freddy is a 3-time All-star chip a lot…
SF: BLB, Schmidt, VanderWal, Rajai, getting rid of Morris’ salary
PITT: Rios (LOL), Vogelsong (LOL), Morris (LOL), no winning seasons after Bonds (LOL), Alderson (FTW)
Mo'ped Money, Mo'ped Problems
Yep
Unfortunately, the trade talk overshadowed the positives of the sweep. I know the Pirates suck, but winning is good, especially when the bums lose. Wanted Cain to get the win, but I was glad Wilson didn’t implode after the runner reached base on the strikeout. I wanted Fred Lewis to come through, but he is just another one of our many LH hitters with the giant hole on those inside breaking balls.
Am I the only one tired of seeing Torres in there all the time now? I know we have injuries to Rowand and Nate now, but I really don’t want Torres to be an everyday guy. I would rather give more AB’s to Bowker and have Winn play CF.
The 1st pitch is the best
Bowker's in the minors
And he can’t come back for seven more days unless someone goes on the DL.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
I know
I didn’t want to make my post even longer, but I didn’t see the point of having Torres on the roster to start the season over these guys. I know Bowker struggled when he was up, but it’s not like he got much of a chance.
The 1st pitch is the best
