"Too much awesome on my feet."-Brian Wilson
"Time for the laser show, boys!"- Aubrey Huff
2010 World Series Champions San Francisco Giants
I think Brian Wilson needs a new closer theme next year
I’m thinking a certain track by Pink Floyd.
""I’d like to be a crossword clue one day. I want to be in The New York Times’s Sunday edition. Right now, the clue ‘Giants great’ is always Mel Ott. I want my clue to be down, not across. The down ones are usually harder. And when I’m the clue, I’ll fill it in — just that one — and frame it. " - Brian Wilson.

Agreed
Every other closer has some harcore rock song. I like Weezy being different.

Pink Floyd > House of Pain
a) like that even needs to be said
b) if you want “something different”, try 70s psychedelic rock, man!

I would accede to 'Interstellar Overdrive'
From the ‘70s, though, give me something like the opening bars of ’Non-Alignment Pact’.
I'm sure
The idea of any Pere Ubu song being played over a stadium PA is already a reach.
"Guys, here's 20 wins right here" - Aubrey Huff on his red thong
If Wilson asked for it, the PA would play it. What I don’t see is David Thomas okaying its use. I am pretty sure he/Ubu own all their own rights.
It's also hard to imagine any ballplayer asking for it
Wilson maybe as likely as anyone else, but still pretty farfetched.
"Guys, here's 20 wins right here" - Aubrey Huff on his red thong
am I the only one who thought of Peter Murphy’s song when you said Final Solution?
Buster Posey: Let's enjoy him before he goes to the Yankees.
Same song
Originally by Ubu, covered by Murphy.
"Guys, here's 20 wins right here" - Aubrey Huff on his red thong
Interstellar Overdrive is a great track.
Syd ruled!
Rooting for the Yankees is like cheering the tanks at Tianamen Square.
I like the atmosphere in the park that "Jump Around" creates.
The fans can go wild to that song.
Welcome to the Machine is too slow for that.

I like Baggs' suggestion: "Paint It Black".
"Guys, here's 20 wins right here" - Aubrey Huff on his red thong
oh, that would be good!

Just imagine the guitar intro coming over the PA and then the whole park freaking out when the drum hits come in.
"Guys, here's 20 wins right here" - Aubrey Huff on his red thong
I could be into that

I'm thinking the reason why Brian will stick with Jump Around
Is for his Irish pride. Also, it’s a great song. If he switches it, it should just be another HOP song.
Run the table, Niners!

I think Renteria will be back next year at a greatly reduced salary.

But if he wants another season in the bigs he could be looking for work into early spring.

Speaking very broadly, I'd still rather the Giants spread that 9 million around...
If there’s anything our offense proved this year, it’s that good pitching can get by with consistently solid mediocrity backing them up. None of our hitters topped any significant stat list, yet we have a WS to show for it. Don’t get me wrong, I love these guys, but let’s not delude ourselves into blanket-labeling them as superstars.
I’ll take a lineup with 8 Huff/Franchez/Torres look-alikes over 1 Bonds trying to carry 7 Eugenio Velez-types any day.
We don’t need to go get the next super-slugger; just someone (or several someones, depending on who we keep this offseason) who can consistently do around league average or slightly better.
Something else that’s been consistently unsung in my opinion (less so around here) is solid defense. I wouldn’t mind a new SS with amazing skills turning double plays, etc. if he’s only hitting .270.
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
in general
I think you make very valid points. I also think the realized talent on the 25 man is at a point getting a clear 4+ War position player ( by hook, crook, trade, free agent, compromising photos of other GMs etc) makes a lot of sense. I don’t think the 40 man and upper minors has enough talent to swing a trade with hurting the ’11-13 squads chances so that option should be out.
A lot of things had to break just right for this squad to finish kicking in the door. Both the Pads & the Rox had some horrendous post All Star break streaks. A guy that could not get playing time over Joe Gimpalong ( I believe that is the English translation for Jose Guillen) had to suddenly channel the 2002 BLB for a couple weeks. Fred Sanchez was healthy enough to almost take the field for 1K innings. The list goes on and on and on. We can’t count on the same collection of position players being enough to get to the post season in 2011.
The biggest problem is going to be avoid long time over pay for "meh" production ala the Rowand contract, Dave Roberts etal, because that would stop the team from getting that 4+War player when they are available.

Some talk about Cubs trading Aramis Ramirez…
14.6 million this year…with a club option of $15 million next year (with a $2 million buy out)
He’s clank defensively but outside of last year he has an offensive juggernaut (.282/.340 .499)…maybe move him to 1B?
I’d trade Rowand for Ramirez in a swap of contracts…and maybe throw in a low level prospect…
they wouldn't do that though
Ramirez had a down year. Rowand’s had two up years his entire career.
I’d be interested in Aramis… but I think our resources could be better spent acquiring a shortstop. If we re-sign Huff and Uribe (I think most expect we’ll at least get the former, and likely could get both) we’ll have 2-3 viable candidates to start at both 3B (Panda, Uribe, DeRosa?) and 1B (Panda, Huff, Belt). We’re much thinner at SS.

How Giddy, you ask? Well, with all the positive buzz surrounding the upcoming film, the Bothans tell me that the Imagineers over at WDI have been given the go-ahead to move further into blue sky development on an E-Ticket attraction themed to Tron for Disneyland. This isn’t a green light for the actual, finalized ride, just the opportunity to explore more extensive designs and concepts. Something tells me late 2012/early 2013 could see the beginning of that long talked about, but continually put off remake of Tomorrowland.

I never understood why they did not go to Fremont...
I used to live there and it’s a perfect place to be…East Bay…major freeways…tons of land…
The San Jose thing is just silly.
Just dumb...
They have a brokedown auto plant sitting there doing nothing…
Fremont has been left behind by the Silicon Valley and is basically a slowly dying town…I still visit it once in awhile because it has a lot of Chinese businesses but they are also slowly going away…
Not anymore – Tesla is building cars there now.

there is a lot of wasted space in Fremont…they can even build a waterfront park like AT&T…that will still attract the Silicon Valley crowd

I really hope not.

I mean, it’s better the A’s stay in the Bay Area than move completely away, but Fremont? San Jose? I wouldn’t go to either of those places for a game.

the answer IMO is Wolff and the economy
The A’s have always (at least Haas-era and before) had a strong presence in SAC and the northern part of the state. But Wolff likes San Jose, and most importantly the Central Valley economy completely tanked and will have a hangover from government cutbacks for the foreseeable future.
It would have been close for East Bay fans too, whose alternatives will be (1) drive down 880 at 5PM to get to the game or (2) watch on whatever public access channel they find to televise the game.

He likes San Jose because that is a huge $$ source. Same reason the Giants want to keep it. For a few years it wouldn’t make much difference, but 10-20 years down the line when the fan base down there are A’s fans, they will be making way way more $$ than the Giants.

I like how all the sudden a .268/.323/.409/.732 line is someone who needs to go to the minors to get his act together.
What the hell would he accomplish down there? He would destroy AAA
This is still his career numbers in the majors:
.305/.356/.484/.839

You gotta admit he was terribly inconsistent, and his approach went all to hell. He may have actually benefited from a break in Fresno mid-season.
Plus, conditioning. I know “LOL Fat”, but seriously – he needs to show some commitment and get his ass in gear. He can’t maintain a long playing career without fixing that.
If the threat of Fresno does the trick, then good for Sabean.
I USED TO NOT BELIEVE YOU
I tweet (more often than I blarg).
I am still attibuting it to a sophmore slump.
I do not think he will improve at all in AAA, if anything it may shoot his confidence down more that he was busted down there.

It's nearly impossible to pick out the difference between last year and this year for Pablo
Other than a .060 drop in BABIP and half as many of his flyballs going for HR’s. Outside of that, pretty much everything else was the same.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
Look closer
At his hideous IFFB% increase – that decreased his BABIP, but it wasn’t bad luck.
My Son

Is there any reason to think that the increase of IFFB% is something that’s sustainable? It seems like that sort of thing usually fluctuates a bit from year to year.

It would definitely affect it some though.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
Even though his LD% only dropped slightly, it certainly seemed like he was not driving the ball as well this year. I don’t recall very many “loud outs” the last 2 months of the year.
You must mean September and the few games in October
Pablo was vintage 2009 in August:
.312/.348/.560/.907 in 28 games started and 6 HRs, 7 2Bs and 1 3B. His second best month of the season.

Yeah I meant September and October. Even despite the decent April and August, while watching Sandoval at-bats this year I don’t recall many instances of “Damn he crushed that ball and it just happened to go to straight to the fielder”. My point is, I don’t believe he will regress back towards his ‘09 number unless he makes real strides towards improving his plate discipline and general approach to at-bats (I have no idea if the eyesight thing was a factor, but he certainly didn’t get the barrel on as many out-of-the-zone pitches this year either).
I think it’s a good idea…a lot of Panda’s problem is mental…playing in a lower league may help him…
Also..the food is not as good in AAA
definitely
hopefully it works. if not, and he looks like shit in st, might as well make good on the threat, though.
Yeah… seems like it.

Well of aware of your mancrush on Werth
But I don’t think he’s worth the long expensive contract and the loss of Type A compensation picks for the next draft.
If the Giants weren’t saddled with $32 million in contracts to Zito/Rowand, maybe…
all them bad contracts don’t seem too bad after you’ve won the World Series. It all becomes irrelevant. Are we now going to complain we can’t win multiple championships because of the Rowand and Zito deals? They’ll both be long gone before my euphoria wears off.
Buster Posey: Let's enjoy him before he goes to the Yankees.
I don’t know…the problem with Zito and Rowand’s contracts are that they handcuff the team from improving…$32 million is a lot of fun to play with if you’re a GM.

Uribe couldn’t get a contract two years ago, which is why the Giants got him on a minor league deal. He had a good year in 2009 and teams still didn’t want him, which is why he came back for one year 3 million dollars. You can make the case that in 2010 he wasn’t even as good as he was in 2009, not to mention the fact that he’s older and heavier, and I still don’t see him getting anything on the open market the Giants can’t beat.

No you don’t…you don’t want Guillen…
Why not…
Cubs don’t want to pay his contract…Rowands’ K is a little less and with a prospect it’s more appealing.
Ramirez has 1 more year on his contract at $14.6M plus a $16M option for 2012 (or $2M buyout). Rowand is still owed $24M over 2 years. If they want to get rid of a bad contract they’re not gonna want one almost as bad that runs longer in return.
Also, the Cubs’ outfield looks set, with Soriano, Byrd, and Fukudome all under contract for next year.
Also also, I said a winning lotto ticket. Guillen has been scratched and we got ‘grand slam’, ‘strikeout’ and ‘lousy fielding’. No matches there.

I don't think they trade Zito now
They don’t have anyone to replace him with, and the “great pitching plus just enough offense” strategy can’t afford to plug a Todd Wellemeyer in place of Zito. This team needs a decent 5th starter more than the Reds or the Phillies do.
"Guys, here's 20 wins right here" - Aubrey Huff on his red thong
especially not in the offseason
For the last few years, except this year, the mop-up guy has ended up as 5th starter after injury. Trading someone now means no backup plan, and with literally no one else in Fresno (I mean, not even an Ortiz of the Russ or Ramon variety) that is kind of premature.

Champions discount?
Shouldn’t that be the way we’re trying to go? I’m not saying go Yankees hog-wild, but I think we should look at the Angels’ model after 2002. After they won a championship, everybody was hyping them and they became a premier destination. Sign maybe ONE big guy like Vlad Guerrero in his prime, and keep building on what you have. That really established their dominance in the AL West for most of the 2000s. And we have better pitching than they did.
by Murray, Present on Nov 5, 2010 11:31 AM PDT up reply actions
You’d have to combine Carl Crawford and Adam Dunn to get Vlad, though. There’s not really one comparable player out there on the free agent market this year.
Also, about the '03 Angels...
They didn’t sign Vlad until ’04 because in ’03 they wound up 77-85. Why such a terrible record the year after winning the World Series?
They kept their roster the same. Wouldn’t you know it, the magic couldn’t repeat itself over another season.
There is no magic
What happened to the ’03 Angels is that their starting pitching went into the toilet. None of their returning starters had an ERA+ of 100 or better.
It would be almost inconceivable for the Giants staff to regress that much in ’11. Our final five starters ERA+ for ’10 were 136, 133, 130, 119, 98. That sucky “fourth starter” is a skinny stoner kid named Tim something; the one with the two Cy Young awards and the devastating slider he learned in a couple of weeks in the middle of a stretch run.

At what cost, though? If you have 6 starters, everyone knows you gotta trade 1 so your bargaining power drops (and you can’t trade Zito). Whatever return we’d get for MadBum or Sanchez wouldn’t be worth the price, IMO because Lee is going to be expensive.

Well I think we need to add an arm or two to the bullpen, but even that is pretty much in place. Wilson, Romo, Affeldt, Lopez, Ramirez, Casilla, Runzler all still look good to me, although there’s talk of changing Runz into a starter but I don’t know how serious that is.

At the time Garko looked like an adequate hitter, and Barnes was in high A and did not have any sort of crazy upside. Yeah, Garko never hit enough for a poor defensive 1B, but an interesting arm without crazy upside in high A doesn’t net you much more. That Garko fell off a cliff wasn’t something most observers besides the Indians predicted. Which reminds me — wtf happened to him, anyway?
The Garko and Sanchez acquistions of 2009 were just like the Lopez and Ramirez deals of 2010. You make deadline deals to try and put you over the top. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t.

Actually
If we’re comparing them as hitters, I believe that Werth has earned the “much” better.
Werth becamse an everyday player in 2007. From 2007-2010, Werth hit .282/.380/.506
In that same time period, Crawford only managed a comparably paltry .302/.351/.457
Crawford is a good hitter, but he’s really not on Werth’s level from a purely offensive standpoint.

He’s the worst hitter in that lineup.
Putting him anywhere other than the 8 hole would be a waste.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
Wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Giants
Trade Rowand and pay, say, 80% of his salary in exchange for a prospect somewhere, just to clear up room in the OF so they don’t have to DFA Schierholtz.

I would say this...
I think the Giants would pay a chunk of his salary this year and a bit next year
I like Nate and all, but I don’t think that they are making decisions on being able to keep him.

The odds are more likely they get rid of Nate
and tell Rowand to suck it up and learn to play positions other than CF.

they will trade him and eat up a lot of his salary.
there is no way he will get any playing time at all next season, and although he was gracious about not playing this year, theres no way he spends all season on the bench
Interesting article
Playing the ‘What If’ Game with Tim Lincecum
http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=12391
Tampa Bay is probably the only team not kicking themselves…
Really?
7. Los Angeles Dodgers
Whom They Took: Clayton Kershaw (Career WARP: 7.3). Under the guidance of Logan White, the Dodgers often identified high-ceiling pitchers with early picks, and they found the best one in the draft with Kershaw.
And if They Took Lincecum: Lincecum in the rotation makes the Dodgers more dangerous in the 2008 and 2009 League Championship Series, both of which they lost in five games, but what about the future? Kershaw was arguably the better pitcher this year, and which pitcher would you rather have over the next five years? I don’t think either answer is a slam dunk.
i still don't think they should be kicking themselves, though
you kick yourself if you take a bad player when a good player was available. If you pick one good player over another, and the other turns out to be better? Maybe you go back and reexamine your process, but at the end of the day you still picked a good player.

Looking back
You’d definitely, obviously want Timmy. Going forward, I’d say it’s a slight lean towards Kershaw when you consider cost/control.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
I don't know if you can play that game...
I think the Dodgers would take a trade of Timmy v. Kershaw in a heartbeat
really?
Kershaw is a lot cheaper. Money no object, sure.
At the same time, a better pitcher brings in more money.
by kingofthacove on Nov 5, 2010 12:34 PM PDT up reply actions
Their difference going forward might not be that much
And if you mean that more people will go to watch a Timmy start than a Kershaw start, well that’s just completely wrong.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
Lincecum is by far the better athlete and almost certainly more durable over the long haul.

This made me LOL so hard
2. Colorado Rockies
Whom They Took: Greg Reynolds (Career WARP: -1.6). A head-scratcher at the time, made even worse by the combination of Reynolds’ ineffectiveness and injuries.
And if They Took Lincecum: You can dream on this one for quite a while, as the impact could have been enormous. Imagine a rookie Lincecum starting in the 2007 World Series, the 2009 Division Series against the Phillies, and even helping the team stay in the race this year. As far as what could have been, Lincecum’s impact would have been greatest had the Rockies taken him, but he wasn’t even in their mix, as their final three seemed to be Reynolds, Evan Longoria, and Andrew Miller.
thank GOD they didn't take Longoria
I would cry if we had to face Tulo, Longoria, and CarGon for the next 6 years.

Huh?
The righty was more novelty act than elite prospect going into his junior year at the University of Washington, and he didn’t garner much serious top-10 pick consideration until the last weeks leading up to the draft.
That sounds like Tim left UW before graduating, doesn’t it? I always assumed he graduated since he started the minors at age 22.

From yesterday's KLaw chat
Ray (Home of the World Series Champs)
Is there anyway the Brewers would accept a deal of Jonathan Sanchez, Pablo Sandoval, Brandon Belt and Ryan Verdugo for Prince Fielder?
Klaw
I wanted to say no when I first saw this, just because it smells like a quantity-for-quality deal, but Belt is a legitimate prospect, an above-average 1b who could start by midyear if not sooner, and Sanchez is what the Brewers have been totally inept at developing for the last ten years. It’s not really that crazy when you think about it.
It’s crazy from the Giants perspective. And Ray, if you post here, you deserve to be beaten with a rolled up newspaper.
Juan "Doesn't Cheat The Game" Perez, please keep hitting.
on what planet is that not crazy?
A ML ready starter who is probably one of the top 30 starters in Baseball, plus the best prospect in the Giants franchse, plus possibly the best homegrown position player on the Giants all for the Walrus?

Uhh
I love Jonathan as much as the next guy, but unless he starts walking like half as many guys, he doesn’t crack the top 30 in baseball.
My Son
Dursh nerf darsh narf. Poop.
He has one of the best k/9 in baseball, one of the top BAA, strikeout totals. The walks would be the only thing keeping him from being top 30 and even then it would be tough.
3.07 ERA, 3.4 (BBR)WAR 133 ERA+, And his BB/9 is actually LOWER then it was last year.
The increasing seasonal walk totals are bad, but he has been improving every other stat every year. I think top 30 is reasonable.

He was 57th in starter WAR
He’s certainly great as a 4th or 5th starter, but he’s no 1 or 2.

With 30 teams, wouldn’t that make him a weak 2 or very strong 3?

I loved Journey long before this season but now their songs have even more gravity in my life. So awesome.

I wonder what Brian Wilson was thinking when he introduced The Machine on The Tonight Show because I was like “Dude, that isn’t Pat Burrell.” That being said, I think Brian Wilson should stop by Coco’s new show since they’re both Irish (I really don’t know how this is relevant) and Coco has orange hair.
