Goldstein on Belt:
Brandon Belt, 1B, Giants (Double-A Richmond): 2-for-4, 3B, SB. Team official recently asked my opinion on Belt, when I asked why he asked, he said, "Because we just had a scout put a super high number on him."

Whenever I get a boner I slip it underneath my Belt. It hides it, and it feels awesome.

Hilarious
Does it feel awesome because you’re hiding it, or does it feel awesome to have a boner? Or both? I say both.

Disagree, respectfully.
Quietly hoping Brandon Belt develops into John Olerud, circa 1993.

Um
What does “having a scout put a super high number on him” mean?
Also, bonerz
Proud of both my adopted son, Baggs, and my ward, Ryan LOLlis.
Probably means he got ranked in the high 60’s (at the very least) on the scout scale.

I always though Avogadro’s number sounded delicious.

You can’t get a high number like that without a little bull dog shit

Intriguing comment from Goldstein,
because it confirms what’s been reported elsewhere, which is that other teams have been scouting the Giants’ farm system over the last two weeks. A lot of this is natural given the deadline, but there was also talk (I think around here in fact) that the team was moving players up a notch in the system this summer in advance of the deadline so that they can be seen by other teams.
There were reports that the Royals, Orioles, and Brewers have scouted Richmond and Fresno over the last two weeks, so my worry now is that Sabean would be considering moving Belt as part of a package.
Responsible for the last great homegrown Giants team.

Have been shit. Sabes would trade away the one impact player in their system above AA for a overvalued rental that they’d have for a year and a half tops.

I have no problem with moving Belt
if he nets the right return. The problem is, very few players are out there and available can be considered the right return.
BJ Upton? Prince Fielder? Yes.
Dejesus? Hart? God No. Run.

I don’t want Upton. He’s had one good year (’07) during which he had a BABIP of .397 and a HR/FB of 19.8%.
Ain't no Posey like a Buster Posey cause a Buster Posey don't stop...hitting.
Giants baseball: We're stupid enough to do that (TM)
Wrong Upton.
But the right one isn’t available.
Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.

I want Werth if we are going to get an OF.

this always cracks me up
“_______ team is scouting _______ team’s system!!!!! this must mean a tremendous amount!!!!!”
is there any major league baseball team that is not scouting the other 29 MLB teams at all times?
by FluLikeSymptoms on Jul 22, 2010 12:09 PM PDT up reply actions
Right, as I said, they all are now.
But I look for any specifics I can get on which teams are scouting which teams.

ugh
my first thought exactly. Sabean hears “ooh, we got someone a scout thinks will be valuable to other teams??” and begins daydreaming “Can he get us Jose Bautista?”
Jose Bautista
Not old enough, also lacks gritty gameryness.
