I hate Scott Hairston!

PrintI hate him more than anyone in baseball. I hate seeing his ugly face as he celebrates his thirteenth game winning hit of the season against the Giants, while I try to resist the urge to gouge my eyes out with a rusty crab pick before hurling myself into the mouth of a volcano for a refreshing lava bath. His at bats are like watching a python digesting the family shih-tzu. You know you should walk away and grieve but you can’t help but watch while praying that somehow Muffy can escape unharmed, then next thing you know its first row, game over and hope you enjoy my middle finger Giants fans as I round third base in triumph.
Scott Hairston is like the mold that grows on the bottom of the toilet, or a hoard of locusts in the outfield. He’s worse then being attacked by fire ants at the family picnic, or coming down with ebola on your honeymoon. He’s an evil wicked monster of mass Giant destruction who should be welded into an air tight container and launched somewhere in the direction of Jupiter so future generations never have to suffer again. So yes, I hate Scott Hairston. I hated him with the Dbacks, I hated him with the Padres, and I was fully prepared to hate him with the A’s for six meaningless games this season.
But then the A’s had to do the unthinkable, and trade him back to the Padres, guaranteeing 18 fun filled games this season of heart attack inducing torture. Once again, the A’s had to give a gift to a team in the NL West for garbage in return. Screw you for Haren, screw you for Ethier and now, here’s a hearty FU for shoving Hairston back up our asses. So have fun enjoying your last place season A’s fans, since you certainly deserve it for this one. And welcome back to the division Scott Hairston. I hope you take a sinking line drive off the nads, complements of all Giants fans who hate the sight of you.

Ya, Kooz is garbage
The A’s should have gone after Aubrey Huff……

Actually, go back and read the thread when there were rumors that the Giants might get Kouzmanoff, to see how “highly” we think of him. I’m no Aubrey Huff fan, but I’ll take him over Kouz anyday. At least he’s had some kind of success at some points of his career.

um, have you seen his OBP? and he isn’t going to be hitting behind adrian gonzalez in oakland, either
I'd rather take Kouz
He’ll probably easily outproduce Huff this season

Kouz hasn't had a bad season since 2006
Not saying that’s a guarantee that he won’t have one next season, but I think the odds are against that.

Yeah, he hasn’t been bad. He also hasn’t posted an OPS over .800 and only once was above .735. Huff is certainly the more volatile performer, but he also has been at least as good offensively as Kouz on aggregate. I’d rather have Huff for one year, than Kouz for two or more.
Of course, none of this includes Kouz’ defense, which is certainly better. It also doesn’t include the fact that Huff didn’t cost talent anything but money to acquire. In a vacuum, on one-year deals, I would take Kouz. In the current siutation, Huff. Remember, Hairston would be practically deserving of a starting spot in our outfield.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
The low OPS is clearly influenced by Petco though – he has been an average hitter the last two years despite OPSs in the .720 range.

True. That is something I wasn’t thinking about. Unfortunately for him, Oakland is a pitcher’s park, too.

Yes I would
I would prefer a good player coming off of a bad year over a player who’s bad, period. If Huff continues to decline, he’s signed to a one year 3 million dollar deal and he can easily be replaced. What’s happened to Billy Beane? Trading for a player who walked 27 times in 550 at bats? I would think the last GM in baseball that would want Kouzmanoff is Billy Beane.

Kouz really isn’t bad, period. He’s been about a 2.8 WAR player the last three years. He certainly looks awful on the surface, but remember that his .722 OPS was good for a 100 OPS+ in a Petco environment. He’s a very good defensive player.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
More expensive?
1yr/3M, oh no, how ever will we recover if he doesn’t live up to his contract. If he sucks, he won’t play and will not be back next season. Not exactly a huge risk.
Wilber Bucardo: Carlos Silva with a younger brother.
there is that other aspect
“older, declining….that has limited defensive ability” or would you argue "he hits RBIs and that what the Giants need?!

no because he has averaged 20 homers the last 3 season and has over 200 in his career.

Kouzmanoff is no doubt better than Huff and anyone who disagrees is probably trolling A’s fans or has fan-blinders on.
That said, Huff costs only $3 million for one year, while Kouzmanoff took a solid major league player and a good prospect to acquire.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
Aaron Cunningham is not good.
I speak fluent English and Arabic and have a working knowledge of Spanish. Yet a certain GrahamCrakalaka cannot distinguish me from Mike Fox. Man...
Why do I feel like you’re judging him solely on the basis of his major league performance this year? He’s a solid prospect – was rated as a “B” by Sickels before last season and had an okay season in 2009. He’s about a B or B- prospect – Giants prospects rated similarly are Thomas Neal, Zack Wheeler, Roger Kieshnick, Dan Runzler, Tommy Joseph, etc. Would you be happy if the Giants traded any of those guys for Kouzmanoff? Say, Nate Schierholtz and Thomas Neal?
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
Big difference
Who do we have after Nate and Neal?That would leave Bowker and Kieshnick as the only legit OF options.Maybe Velez wouldbe in the mix.
I believe Oakland made this deal to clear a spot for Michael Taylor. They also seems to have Travis Buck who is like their version of Bowker waiting for a chance. Eric Patterson who is comparable with Velez.
Not sure how he stacks up stats-wise…
…but I liked what I saw of Darren Ford down in San Jose last season.
by PositionPlayerProd on Jan 19, 2010 10:47 PM PST up reply actions
The difference
As I see it… is the A’s have several outfielders in the big leagues or near the big leagues. If you buy the notion that Chris Carter can be serviceable in the outfield Cunningham just got demoted to “tied for career backup” without the trade.
On absolute value, I think the A’s traded more than they got… but they were trading from strength to fill weakness. And it isn’t like the Padres just ran away with huge value here.
But Kouz is easily a 2 WAR player
Whereas it’s highly unlikely that Huff will even reach that

I think I went to more A’s home games last year then most A’s fans. Honestly. And I dont live in Oakland or anything.
Its funny because fuck the dodgers
Yeah I went to the Red Sox-A's game
it was either last year or 2 years ago. It was the start after Lester threw his no hitter. Anyway that was a home game for the SAWX

Since they are lurking a bit more recently, I’d like to know when was the last time the A’s sold out a game (tarp or no tarp) that didn’t involve the Giants, Yankees, Red Sox, Fireworks or dirt cheap tickets.
Probably as much time...
as the SF Giants have won a World Series…. drumrolll…./swish

Are Gnatty fans this uptight?
First, this is SBNation blog so as long as I stay within the community guidlines, who cares. Second, when a Gnats fanboi starts poking fun at A’s fans, it’s fair game to have some fun. Even with the heavy sarcasm in my tone, I can see that Gnats fan have a bitter taste of anything A’s…..funny. Anyhow, go A’s and touche.
P.S. I used to root for Giants during the Roger Craig Hmmm Baby days when they were a fun team with Mitchell, Clark, etc., but those days seem long gone now…..Lincecum may save the franchise yet…if he doesn’t smoke himself to pull Rickey Williams! ;)

No one cares
I know this will probably seem difficult for an A’s fan to understand, since they seem to believe that all Giants fans do is think about the A’s and territorial rights and how inferior we are to the A’s, but we really don’t care about anything you have to say.
If you’re going to come on here and say things lie, “Gnats” and “I can see that Gnats fan have a bitter taste of anything A’s…..funny.”, no one is going to be amused. Just a heads-up.

Russel Martin compared to his overall career damage, is not to the giants what Hairston is. Hairston a piece of mediocrity becomes Albert Pujols vs the giants at bat, and a gold glover in the field.
But Martin is a douche
