Giants Sign Gregor Blanco
by Grant Brisbee on Nov 16, 2011 8:53 AM PST

PrintIt's true! Take that, rainy-day fund! From Baseball America's Matt Eddy:
Octagon Baseball reports that its client CF Gregor Blanco signed with Giants. LH-hitting, 27-year-old CF coming off lost year in Triple-A.
Sounds good! See you in March, front office!
Of course, that's too glib by about 500%, especially because Blanco actually has a skill the Giants need:
| Year | Age | PA | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 24 | 519 | .251 | .366 |
| 2009 | 25 | 48 | .186 | .255 |
| 2010 | 26 | 269 | .283 | .360 |
By which I mean, he plays center field. Collect them all. Also, he seems to get on base. Those are his numbers in the majors with the Braves and Royals. It's a little weird that he didn't get more of a chance after putting up a .366 OBP for the Braves in 2008, but he stunk in 2009, both in the majors and at AAA. Still, a CF who knows how to take a walk? Always. You really do want to collect those all.
Not earth-shaking news, but there probably isn't going to be a lot of that this offseason. Instead, we'll have to manufacture artificial debates, and split this site into factions. On one side, Justin Christian partisans. On the other, Gregor Blanco fetishists. If you thought the Scott Atchison/Dan Giese battles were something, you have no idea. This will tear the place apart.
It will all be a moot point when the Giants sign Ryan Ludwick, you say? Nonsense. They can always send Belt down and open up a fifth-outfielder spot.

Seems like a perfectly cromulent fifth OF/ST invite, but every time I see something like this I can’t shake the feeling that the bell tolls for Andres Torres.
And that’s shitty.

I've been fully suckered into the Twitterverse. Oops.
It’s because he costs 40K and Andres will cost 3M+. Don’t hate the player hate the game :(

And yet, some would tie the team up for 8 years for a SS with wonky hamstrings.
Just play a Brandon or two, come on!
1) I don’t know if anyone wants Reyes for 8 years. 2) Reyes is certainly better than the internal options, rather than Blanco being worse but cheaper than the internal option.

This statement reflects my current opinion. Sabean seems to be doing his best to f-up this offseason. Blanco’s not horrible, but really why was it important to get this done instead of signing an actual MLB player. The " catching lightning in a bottle" concept is no way go through life son.

I said goodbye to Andres when they traded for Melky. So this signing is okay with me.

Agreed
But i certainly don’t have confidence in him coming back, let alone paying a few million to find out
So I guess this means the Phillies making it past the 1st round of the 2010 post season was a fluke.
You don’t have confidence in him coming back from his 2 WAR year?

I meant more from his "issues"
But not sure I buy that he was a 2 WAR player. BR has him at 1.3.
So I guess this means the Phillies making it past the 1st round of the 2010 post season was a fluke.
1.3 WAR in 400 AB =~ 1.9 WAR in 600 ABs, which he would’ve got if they’d played him every day.
And rWARs are worth more than fWARs.

Understood
But the main reason he wasn’t playing more is because he was a) hurt and/or b) suffering from emotional/mental issues.
He’s at an age where the wheels are going to continue to fall off and leg issues render him almost useless. He seemed unable to overcome the “between the ears” stuff last season. I’d assume they have him seeing all kinds of professionals, but they’re going to have to make the arb decision. If it were my team and my money, I’d want some evidence he’s getting better before offering him arb.
So I guess this means the Phillies making it past the 1st round of the 2010 post season was a fluke.
b) suffering from emotional/mental issues.
Even taking this into consideration, he was putting up a good season. They should have kept playing him. I doubt he asked out of the lineup, but as folks are known to say around these parts, I really don’t know that for sure.

I never said Torres is terrible
And they’re contract vs. arb status makes it apples and oranges. If Huff was arb eligible, I wouldn’t offer it to him.
So I guess this means the Phillies making it past the 1st round of the 2010 post season was a fluke.
Aubrey Huff is a year older than Andres Torres
But I’m going to take a wild guess and say that you think Huff will rebound, right?

Getting back into shape would seem easiler than overcoming anxiety issues.
Leg injuries are more common with age and Torres relies on his wheels more
Huff has more of a track record
So I guess this means the Phillies making it past the 1st round of the 2010 post season was a fluke.

But thinking Huff might be the kind of guy who doesn’t always come to each season prepared like he should be doesn’t seem unreasonable. He likes to have fun and seems like a guy who might be tempted by a couch and a football game when he’s supposed to be on the stationary bike, or a guy who can easily be talked into curling 40 oz. instead of 40 pounds.
So I guess this means the Phillies making it past the 1st round of the 2010 post season was a fluke.

I actually really enjoy Andy as the boss because it’s a little more believable but they’ve completely changed the character from when he started. He used to be the cutthroat albeit doofy suck up, now he’s the nice guy who just wants everyone to like him. I hate the Robert California character and Jim and Pam are starting to improve again but they sunk pretty low on the likability list. I’m actually not missing Michael Scott all that much, but that’s probably because they took so long to write him out that they didn’t have fun with him the way they normally would.

Not as fascinating now.
As far as the series goes, I’m not writing it off yet. I thought the scene that opened last week’s episode (Erin interrupting Andy with an “important call” ) was brilliant; one of laugh-out-loud funniest in the history of the show.
So I guess this means the Phillies making it past the 1st round of the 2010 post season was a fluke.

He was an asshole.
Was Steve Jobs an asshole?
By a vote of 8-1, we decided he was.
In the end, we gave Steve Jobs 3,613 asshole points, which places him above Elton John (despite Justice Boylan’s contention that Jobs “does not meet the exacting Elton John standard”) but well below Hosni Mubarak (squaring both with Justice Whitmer’s rule that nobody who hasn’t killed anyone should get more than 5,000 points, and my own rule that columnist George Will’s 5,000 should represent the maximum score for a non-homicidal defendant).
Curiously, however, we also voted on Thomas Edison, and gave him 5,629 points; the court apparently counted Topsy the elephant’s death as a homicide. Edison’s inflated score vis à vis Jobs was largely due to his vastly more extensive record of idea-stealing (particularly with regard to Nikola Tesla), his proud history of cat-and-elephant-frying, and his tireless advocacy of the inferior DC system.

At this, Taibbi’s mouth turned down and his eyes narrowed.
"Fuck you," he snarled, and then picked up his mug from the table, threw his coffee at me, and stormed out.
The restaurant was packed with customers, and they all turned to watch as I sat there, stunned, coffee dripping from my face. The waiter arrived with the milkshake Taibbi had ordered. After wiping myself off a bit, I went outside, where Taibbi was putting on his coat, and asked him to calm down and come back into the restaurant. He walked up to me, glaring, beside himself with rage.
"Fuck you!" he yelled. "Did you bring me here to insult me? Who are you? What have you ever written? Fuck you!"
I tried to talk to him, but gave up when he walked away. I went back inside, paid the bill, left, and began walking up Sixth Avenue. Halfway up the block, I turned around, and Taibbi was behind me.
"Are you following me?," I asked. He walked toward me, raising his arms as though preparing to throttle me or take a swing.
"I still haven’t decided what I’m going to do with you!" he said.
"Are you kidding?," I asked.

Guys, this doesn’t sound so good: http://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/me5e9/american_censorship_day_stand_up_for/
Today, the US House Judiciary Committee has a hearing on the Stop Online Piracy Act or SOPA. The text of the bill is here. This bill would strengthen copyright holders’ means to go after allegedly infringing sites at detrimental cost to the freedom and integrity of the Internet. As a result, we are joining forces with organizations such as the EFF, Mozilla, Wikimedia, and the FSF for American Censorship Day.
Part of this act would undermine the safe harbor provisions of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act which would make sites like reddit and YouTube liable for hosting user content that may be infringing. This act would also force search engines, DNS providers, and payment processors to cease all activities with allegedly infringing sites, in effect, walling off users from them.
Since we all use the interwebs for a variety of things that could keep us from using the interwebs if this is passed, I knew sharing it with you would be important.

It is Passan so...
After unleashing Hideo Nomo, Alfonso Soriano(notes) and Irabu from Japan’s system that calls for an absurd nine full seasons before free agency, and following the Iwakuma situation last year, Nomura is back with perhaps his best client yet – and the one who could change the posting debate forever. Nomura represents Darvish, who is the best player in Japan, certainly, and one of the most accomplished in the world. And according to high-ranking MLB sources and ones in Japan familiar with Darvish’s thinking, the posting system concerns him as much as it would any superstar-in-waiting who wants to thrive on the game’s biggest stage. Nomura declined comment.
Abundantly clear is what’s at stake. If he does post, he will be just like those before him: Ichiro Suzuki(notes) and Daisuke Matsuzaka(notes), big-name, big-talent players who signed undermarket contracts after watching teams pay millions of dollars simply for the right to bid on them. Should he decline to, it will be a sign to the Fighters that Darvish may be speaking out against the system tacitly, as doing so publicly would bring him immense scrutiny like it did Irabu.

Saw Roger Waters do Dark Side of the Moon at Shoreline in ’06 and enjoyed it, my understanding is this is more of a spectacle than that was.

The group in question is Americans United for Change* and the change for which they have united is to get Glenn Beck off whatever airwaves will still have him.
Major League Baseball has become one of their targets because the interactive arm of the league — MLB Advanced Media — provides the streaming video platform for Beck’s loopy webcasts.

Having completed the Led Zeppelin project
I have concluded that neither Presence nor In Through the Out Door were as bad as I remembered. The composition is mostly still solid, although Presence suffers from bad performances, and ITTOD has the unfortunate problem of way too many keyboards and over dubs. Obviously Jimi couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed, I mean, he barely plays at all on Carouselambra, other than a few arpeggios and power chords. Led Zeppelin albums should never sound like they were recorded piecemeal in a studio.
Houses of the Holy FTW.

Just scroll through the replies to the very first comment on this thread. Here’s an example:
This statement reflects my current opinion. Sabean seems to be doing his best to f-up this offseason. Blanco’s not horrible, but really why was it important to get this done instead of signing an actual MLB player.
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
I think the negative mostly stems from the assumption that Torres is being let go. The bitterness just spills over from there. Every move from now until the time Torres is (or is not) tendered a contract will be accompanied with “And this is what you’re doing instead of keeping Torres?”
I'm as tall as Mel. Why can't I hit 500 home runs?
Apples and oranges
That’s my point. The 2 things aren’t likely connected at all. Torres is on the 25 man roster and Blanco isn’t even on the 40-man roster. Justin Christian is much more of a threat to Torres – as he’s already on the 40-man roster. IMO, the only way that Torres gets canned is if he refuses to negotiate on a new contract offer and forces the Giants into an arbitration. I highly doubt that Torres and his agent are dumb enough to do that.

Oh wait, I was wrong. It was the 17th century (duh!) and it was the Dutch naming their ships ironically after French and English slurs, similar to the way Americans employed the Yankee Doodle song.
The Dutch were aware of these sneers, and amongst the numerous privateers which put to sea during this war, there were three named the Getergde Kaasboer, the ‘Provoked Cheesemonger.’

Mix a dry rub using equal parts garlic salt, onion powder, Old Bay seasoning, Adobo seasoning and crushed bay leaves. Rub meat down until evenly coated, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Fox last week sent a letter to the investment bank handling the Dodgers’ sale demanding that it “cease and desist” from claiming it could solicit bids for the television rights regardless of the current Fox contract.

It’s strange that Arizona would have two of the last eight Republican presidential candidates but only have 10 electoral votes. Of course, both candidates lost in the general election.
by Grant_ME_MERCY on Nov 16, 2011 12:38 PM PST up reply actions
I think they now have 11 electoral votes.
And I think in both cases it was due to the field. The 1964 Republican Primary was described as a “civil war” between the conservative and moderate factions, and NY’s Rockefeller was leading early but was derailed due to some marriage, divorce, baby drama.
And in ’08 when they got to the convention it was McCain (AZ), Huckabee (AR), Romney (MA), and Paul (LOL – TX). Massachusetts being a state the Republicans are not likely to win, Texas being one they are not likely to lose, and Arkansas with 6 electoral votes.
Would’ve been interesting to see Rockefeller vs. Johnson in 1968 though. Goldwater was too conservative for the nation, though these days he’d be too liberal for his own party.

Gratuitous mentions of "Today"
Dave Garroway and Jack Lescoulie anchored Today from the RNC in San Francisco in August, 1956. It was a major coup for the then-new practice of national TV broadcasts from the West.
Today returned to the city for the ‘64 convention. Hugh Downs, Frank Blair and Maureen O’Sullivan hosted the show that week.
Sadly, only a few clips still exist from those telecasts. NBC didn’t start carefully archiving its materials for another ten years or so.

Japanese shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima will be posted dlvr.it/wMt9B #mlb #hbt
Last offseason the Twins paid $15 million for Tsuyoshi Nishioka, a 26-year-old Gold Glove-winning shortstop who’d just won a batting title in Japan, and he was a massive flop. Nishioka’s lack of power was one of his biggest issues and Nakajima is a much different type of hitter, averaging 20 homers during the past four seasons while hitting above .300 for his career.
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"

there were a lot of concerns about Nishioka’s arm and one-year wonderness. Nakajima has been pretty consistent in his career. I don’t know about his defensive prowess though.

However, he’s coming off a mediocre year in which he slugged just .433, so the 29-year-old seems unlikely to create a significant bidding war. Via the posting process MLB teams submit bids for exclusive negotiating rights and then must work out a separate contract with the player, getting a refund on the bid if they ca
n’t agree to a deal.
