Mark DeRosa unhappy w/how wrist responded @ San Jose. Won't be activated Fri. @PIT. Will shut it down 4 a few days b4 trying again @Fresno.
This is amusing in an Enron-execs-spraying-seltzer-water-at-each-other-while-destroying-retirement-portfolios kind of way. Amusing, sad, horrifying, predictable, surprising....

Fred Lewis . . .
. . . apparently learned something in his time in SF, to wit, that walks cheat the game. All his Bochy-loved numbers are up, while his walks rate is about half of what it was here. Oh, and he also has a .375 BABIP; for him, that may not be far from sustainable, as he was always high-BABIP, but it seems unusual.
No one can say what he might have done here, especially under Meulens, but right now he is looking like a younger and slightly superior Aaron Rowand. His 2008 numbers, if they are taken as representative of his real ability, look like a younger, healthy Mark DeRosa. If nothing else, it would have save a pretty penny, though I for one still believe his fielding was unsupportable.

The Giants Front office is like BP, hoping to calm the fear of the public by hiding the extent of the surgery. The latest rehab assignment went about as well as “Top Kill”. It didn’t work.
But hey, calm it down for a few days, and give it another go. Too much $$ riding on this!

Meanwhile, the Giants medical staff drilled two holes into the DeRosa tendon spill in a desperate attempt to relieve pressure. They don’t expect to see any results for a few weeks, so they’ll heap mud on the injury and send him into the field until then.

I just don't see what the big deal with him getting it fixed is.
He wasn’t doing well playing through it, what makes them think it will be fine now?
it's just his wrist.
his veteran presence is fine.

Is Fred Lewis the most astounding blunder of Sabean’s career? It’s probably too early to say, but I’m leaning in that direction. The decision to give up on Fred Lewis has led to such a collection of misfortune that it’s almost hard to believe.
It’s a three-way race between that, Rowand and Zito. And Renteria.

I smell a ranking list. My personal Top 10 Sabean disasters!
1. Liriano, Nathan, and Boof for a year of AJ
2. Zito
3. Rowand
4. Alfonzo
5. Renteria
6. Fred Lewis
7. Dave Roberts
8. Rajai Davis
9. Washed up veteran pu pu platter (Klesko, Aurillia, Molina, DeRosa, FInley)
10. The fact that you were even thinking about Lincecum for Rios
good list
since it’s mostly in hingsight (zito was just ridiculous from the start) where’s Fatmando Blownitez!
and I’d personally put Renteria above Alfonzo, compounded by the fact that they kept trotting Renteria out there when he couldn’t play baseball.
this thread is making me depressed.

and Sabes likely is the one who negotiated the contract.

My take on the whole thing which is obviously pure speculation is that Sabean identified Zito has somebody he wanted and then the price got ridiculously high (LOL Mets) and Sabean said they shouldn’t do it for that price and Macgowan just said sign him no matter what the cost.
Then it's still ownership's fault

I’d add some deals not done, like not trading Schmidt or Durham at the end of ’06 and not even thinking about getting Vlad.
Also, he traded Alfonzo for Finley in a trade of contracts, so those really should be listed together.

Not trading Molina in 2008. It has cost the team over $10M, it made the team worse in in 2009, it’s making the team much worse in 2010, and it was a missed opportunity to get prospects.

If the assumption is that getting DeRosa to replace Fred and then shipping Fred away is one bundle of stupid, then it ranks up there. But not at the top by a long shot.

I was going to suggest Boonitez or Ponson, but I don’t know that they beat out any of these. I’d move Alfonzo down some, as the magnitude of that mistake has been dwarfed by later gaffes.

My first reaction...
…was to feel sorry for DeRosa. But then I remembered that he is making $12MM over the next two years to have surgery and rehab. He will be fine (well not his wrist).
Next I was angry at the Giants for not letting him have the operation he so obviously needs.
Then, I figured that there was little cost in delaying this operation as he will not play this season and is not likely to play (well) again, ever.
Now, I am angry again. I’m angry that the FO insists on playing out this fantasy with DeRosa, the team, and the fans. Memo to all who have seen the video of DeRosa’s semi-attached wrist: this injury is NOT compatible with playing major league baseball. Stop fucking kidding yourselves. Nobody else believes charade. Oh and the tooth fairy is not coming either
Adopted Nut: Paraparaumu, New Zealand native, Andy Skeels
DeRosa could conceivably have come back this year
the theoretical recovery time is short. However, going back in for a second time often is more complicated, so it is hard to guess how long the surgeon would keep him on the shelf.
I like my beer cold ... my TV loud ... and my romosexuals flaming.--Homer Simpson
My understanding . . .
. . . which I will say at once is not comprehensive on this, is that if he doesn’t get the surgery PDQ, he will not be ready to start 2011 spring training on schedule. (That may or may not include allowance for some physical therapy prior to acutally reporting.)
